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.
[..] You would not have a lot of patience
with groups which pursue the ineffable while floundering on the practical level; you want to see
action and results. It is possible that, in an earlier phase of life, you might have pursued
material rewards for their own sake, and demonstrated [...]
[..] You may be happy marketing knowledge, selling inspiration, advertising consciousness - making your
inner vision available to ordinary people in ordinary, everyday ways.
You may need a group with which to work. This could give you a sense of security and a feeling
that you [...]
[..] You have a strong sense of a higher meaning or purpose behind painful
experiences, and you tend to view suffering as a means of learning and growth. This allows you to
convey a positive and optimistic vision to those who are struggling to understand their own
suffering. You are [...]
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.
[..] If you work
in the helping fields, there is a danger, if you are too dogmatic, that you will impose your
beliefs on those who are seeking your help; and if you work within a group or organisation, you
may feel impelled to "convert" those who have not yet seen the light, [...]
[..] You do not need
to "buy" your place in the world through work which gives you no personal pleasure; and you may
need to learn to value yourself more and stop feeling you have to labour on behalf of others to
pay for the air you breathe. Life does give many things freely, [...]
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.
