I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of your personal "Career and Vocation" horoscope by Liz
Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete
vocation horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.
When we are children, people say to us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" At that age, we
usually have dreams. When we are children, we are still capable of hearing the voice of the soul.
As we grow older, the questions change. There is no longer time for dreaming; we must now "face
reality" and think about how to survive in the big, bad old world.
This astrological report is about your vocation. It is meant to help you get a sense of what you
might be good at and what might be good for you, so that your working life has a meaning as well
as a pay cheque.
II. How You See the World
This chapter briefly describes your personal perspective on life and explains how you can best
express this in your career.
III. Your aptitudes and strengths
This chapter, which contains 8-10 pages, is one of the most comprehensive sections in the "Career
and Vocation" horoscope. Here is a short selection of three samples from the numerous aptitudes
described in the complete report.
An honest and realistic understanding of your fundamental strengths can help you to orientate
yourself in the world and put your energy into areas where you can hope to shine and achieve at
least many of your most cherished goals.
[..] Although your
idealism doesn't justify avoidance of life's challenges, nevertheless recognise that you must find
a work direction which nurtures and gives expression to your dreams rather than trampling on them.
Spheres of work which deal directly with spiritual matters [...]
[..] Political, environmental, and social efforts which are inspired by ideals may attract you, and you
could be an energetic participant in any humanitarian work which fulfills your need to live an
ethical and moral life. But you are too sensitive to people's feelings to be [...]
[..] Although you could do this even if you
are involved in relatively mundane work, you would probably feel more satisfied if you know that
your work is offering a service to that inner reality in which you believe so deeply.
Working in the arts could offer you plenty of room [...]
IV. Know Your Limits
This chapter describes your personal limitations and suggests how you can deal with these in your
professional life. In the complete horoscope, this chapter is about 5-7 pages in length.

Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
Your chief limitation, in terms of your work, is rooted in your greatest strength: the tenuousness
of your relationship with the material world. Your focus on subtler levels of reality reflects a
fine imagination and an inner commitment to a higher or deeper plane of existence. But if [...]
[..] Despite your belief in life's essential goodness, you
have a certain cynicism about your own chances for real success; and this could create a kind of
"chip on your shoulder" which results in your sabotaging your own efforts or running into conflict
with authority figures [...]
V. Working with Others
The two final chapters of "Career and Vocation" deal with the way you work together with your
colleagues in your everyday working life, and what success means to you personally.
One of the most important factors to consider in terms of your direction in life is how you work
with others. Everyone has his or her own style of relating in the working environment; everyone
has different needs and requirements.
VI. What Success Really Means to You
When people speak of "success", they generally mean a position of importance in the world's eyes,
or a job that yields lots of money and all the material pleasures and comforts that implies. But
success, in terms of the deeper issue of vocation, is a highly individual thing that means
different things to different people.
