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 are not
inclined to look back over your shoulder mourning the chances you missed, nor are you predisposed
to fantasise about a pot of gold at the end of some future rainbow. Yet your realism does not make
you dour. You have the gift of enjoying whatever good fortune [...]
[..] You want to do something that you
know is useful and productive and can contribute to the well-being of others on physical,
emotional, or intellectual levels. But you also have to be gripped, fascinated, and intellectually
involved. If you do not feel engaged in this way, [...]
[..] You could possess skills as a surgeon, a veterinarian, or a biologist. But whatever
sphere attracts you, you need room to discover new things and go on a crusade to improve the
environment around you. If you are caught in a work situation where these requirements are not
[...]
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.
[..] Yet it is in this less tangible
realm that you might find inspiration to turn a well-paying job into a meaningful anchoring of
inner values and dreams. You may well have creative talent which you do not take seriously enough,
for you may make the mistake of assuming that [...]
[..] Try not to let your pragmatism trap you in work which is stable and financially
rewarding but which requires you to struggle within the confines of too many codes and limits. If
you do this, you may burst out in anger or sheer frustration, and endanger what you are trying [...]
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.
