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 know that no man or woman is an island, and you feel nourished and supported by a sense of
belonging and the knowledge that you are able to contribute something which benefits others in
some way. Ambition in the ordinary sense is not likely to be one of your prime motivations, [...]
[..] Faced with a difficult decision, you want to know what
others think as a matter of course, for you are neither arrogant enough nor confident enough in
your own rightness to assume that your knowledge is all there is to know. This genuine willingness
to consider others' viewpoints, [...]
[..] But your self-
doubt, paradoxically, could prove a great asset. Although it may sometimes make you feel unsure of
yourself and frightened of failure, it can also act as a spur to accomplishment, making you
determined to succeed with or without others' support. Ultimately, because [...]
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 [...]
[..] You tend to expect the
same extremely high standards from others that you expect from yourself; and sometimes these
standards are simply too high for any human to meet. The harder you are on yourself, the harder
you are likely to be on others. You can also be hypersensitive [...]
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.
