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 would find it very hard to be isolated at a
desk with no one to communicate with and no "team" to discuss ideas with. Most importantly, you
need to feel you are part of a community, not a company. Others are inclined to trust you because
you are ethical; also, you like [...]
[..] Although you are perfectly capable
of acting alone, taking the initiative, and coming up with your own strategies and inspired
solutions to problems, you prefer co-operation. You have the humility to know that you might be
wrong and that others, even if their position is [...]
[..] 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 you are so vulnerable
to the judgements of authority, [...]
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.
[..] Because
you are so aware of the value of others' ideas, you are often insufficiently appreciative of your
own; and because co-operation and harmony matter so much to you, you may sometimes betray your own
needs and aspirations in order to preserve that harmony. This can [...]
[..] You can also be hypersensitive to others' criticism when you are
in one of these moods, and may react with anger far out of proportion to the slight, real or
imagined. And you can fail to offer the important word of praise or encouragement when it is most
needed, for some [...]
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.
