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.
[..] This can expose you to being exploited, and the standards and ideals of the world in which
you work are extremely important. Although you can be understanding and forgiving, you are not
always very good at expressing yourself directly if it means discord or rejection from [...]
[..] You also do not
like to be seen as aggressive, even if you know that someone else is making a mistake; and you
would rather suppress your feelings, and exercise tact to keep the atmosphere harmonious, than
appear too harsh or authoritarian. This can be both a gift and a [...]
[..] You are not inimical to authority on principle, but you may find it hard to put up
with authority which abuses its privilege or which has not earned its position through genuine
ability. Yet total isolation is not your idea of work heaven; you need others around you, both [...]
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.
[..] Even if you feel you are
expressing yourself adequately - for example, you might be the person in charge of a company or
group - you may need to reflect on any subtle ways in which you allow yourself to be undermined
because you fear disapproval or don't wish to hurt or [...]
[..] However, sometimes you may be too strenuous in your ferocious
individualism because you secretly lack confidence in yourself and are afraid of rejection or
criticism from the collective - that very collective which you profess not to care about. Deep
down, you aren't really [...]
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.
