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.
[..] But if you do not possess the literal manual or verbal gifts, this does not diminish
the importance of your creative imagination and the necessity to include it in your work. A
business or consultancy can be a creative product rather than a pragmatic construction; a school
[...]
[..] Ordinary people do not catch buses or prepare their supper in this fantastic landscape, but
knights on white horses ride by with pennants flying, and beautiful pale damsels cry out for
rescue, chained to rocks while they await the advent of dragons and sea-monsters. Ordinary life

[..] This is not "sublimation" of personal needs and drives, but a transformation of personal
experience into forms which are larger than your personal life and allow you to feel you are part
of a greater unity. What you seek in love is also what you seek for your life's meaning; [...]
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.
[..] As a result, you may often meet with bafflement or even
outright rejection from those who cannot understand you, and this can make you feel isolated and
hurt. And it could make it hard for you to find the right balance between your creative work and
the material stability, [...]
[..] 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.
