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.
Whatever your skills and talents, you are fundamentally a romantic, in the literary rather than
the colloquial sense of the term. In other words, you need to know that you are connected to a
higher or deeper level of life, and that the work you do is in some way a contribution [...]
[..] Too much conflict in your working life can make you feel very depressed if not
actually physically ill; and because you are not terribly well equipped to deal with primitive
emotions such as deep anger, you are more likely to stifle your own unhappiness, forcing it to
emerge [...]
[..] Your psychic openness is a great gift,
but it is sometimes confusing because you are not sufficiently grounded to know when you need to
protect yourself; and you can absorb negative feelings without even knowing what is happening. If
you are working in the arts, or in the [...]
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.
[..] Your ideals are extremely high; and although it would be
wrong for you to be disloyal to them, you may also need to recognise that loyalty can also
encompass a certain amount of compromise and acceptance of human limits. Your romantic vision of
how life could be may make [...]
[..] You don't like being dependent, and your
pride often doesn't allow you to ask others for support or advice - even if you badly need it. Yet
you can sometimes be very vulnerable, and you may not always be as tough as you think. Something
in you longs for a sense of belonging [...]
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.
