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 likely to enjoy serving on a committee,
unless you are in charge of it. Seeking a position of authority may be necessary, not because you
crave power, but because it may be the only way you can ensure that you are left alone in the way
you need. If you do wish [...]
You are not one of life's innocents, and no doubt you find Walt Disney films irritating because
they bear so little relation to reality. In fact, you have an excellent grasp of reality; and that
means not only the reality of the marketplace, but also the reality of others' [...]
[..] You have a profound sense of subtler realities, and are sensitive
to the collective psyche and the undercurrents in operation in the world around you. This could
open up two quite distinctly different sphere of work to you. You might enjoy the intensity of
working with individuals [...]
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.
[..] But there is a paradox inherent in your temperament and your situation in relation to the
outer world. You need to be what you are, and any work you do needs to be motivated from within
rather than from the world outside. Yet without the sense that you are living a useful [...]
[..] This may not mean chatting
away with all and sundry, but it could mean putting effort into cultivating those few people whom
you like and have learned to trust. You need to be able to exchange ideas and get a more balanced
view of the world, which can help you to come out [...]
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.
