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.
[..] Even
if you are in a prominent position with considerable responsibilities, you tend to wear these
responsibilities lightly, as though waiting for the time when your real potential can be
unleashed. You need constant challenges and constant new vehicles through which you [...]
[..] You are more likely to find this in the arts than in the business world, and you
might be wise to avoid large institutions where individual contributions are subsumed in the
greater whole. You have every right to demand such individual recognition, for you are an
intensely [...]
[..] However, you need to make sure you do not feel trapped through
feeling too responsible for others. Long-term one-to-one work may, over time, feel too limiting.
Shorter-term work, such as crisis counselling or working with tools such as astrology or
alternative healing methods, [...]
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.
[..] It is important to make peace with the limits of mundane reality, and recognise that potentials in
your mind's eye, however glorious, cannot replace the real achievement of anchoring your
imagination and ideas in concrete forms. However imperfect those forms may seem, they [...]
[..] It is important that you recognise this
voice, for if it remains unconscious, you may carry deep insecurity without realising it; and then
you may sabotage your work efforts or quit before you have completed what you began, from fear
that what you produce will be rejected [...]
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.
