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.
[..] It may also be helpful to remember that an artist's temperament and motivation are not necessarily
accompanied by actual skill in draughtsmanship or fiction-writing, or actual talent at playing a
musical instrument. If you do possess a genuine talent for working with images, [...]
[..] You long to
feel that, in however humble or indirect a fashion, you are serving something deeper or higher.
You would rapidly become depressed and unhappy if you have to work in a sphere where you are
unable to make such a commitment. The arts, of course, can offer a place [...]
[..] Your creative imagination works best when you are
challenged, and the more difficult the obstacle, the more eager you become to surmount it. Whether
this applies to developing new creative techniques or promulgating your "message" to those whom
you believe need to hear it, [...]
IV. Know Your Limits

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.
[..] You could never be happy selling your soul in order to
make a living; and even though you might be able to find creative vehicles in spheres which allow
some compromise between your vision of reality and the needs of the collective, nevertheless the
compromise must be minimal [...]
[..] No
purpose will be served by reworking a painting or a novel or a piece of music for forty years,
always trying to achieve some impossible standad which ensures that no one else will ever see what
you have produced. You need not only to accept the gap between vision and [...]
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.
