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 might cover a wide range of possibilities - from living the artist's
life, with all its special difficulties and challenges, to working in those areas where artistic
gifts are combined with more market-orientated work such as advertising or web design. Which end
of [...]
[..] 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

External events are not random occurrences to you, but rather, like beads on a string, parts of an
ongoing story. Your perception of life is subtle and linked with an imaginative interpretation of
events and people as characters in a grand drama; and this storytelling talent [...]
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.
[..] The difficulty arises from how
you understand that word "compromise", for self-expression always requires the use of language -
verbal, pictorial, auditory, symbolic - and you have to be willing to be fluent in more than your
own special language in order to be understood. It is [...]
[..] You need not only to accept the gap between vision and reality, but also to let
go of your work when it is good enough - for "good enough" may be the thing you need most to learn
to recognise about your work. You will probably never be entirely happy about compromising your

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.
