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 could never happily devote yourself to any work purely for financial gain, for your deepest
loyalties are given to an inner vision. You need to seek a vocational path which allows you to
express that vision. This might cover a wide range of possibilities - from living [...]
[..] They may not be
appreciated by everybody, but you can learn to accept this and find the audience which is on the
same wave length as you are. Try not to wander about feeling like a misunderstood genius. Develop
your craft and do what you do well and carefully. But don't [...]
[..] Your fine imagination might
prove a problem if you are required to deal with facts all day; you would probably be unhappy
working as an accountant or bookkeeper. But it is an enormous asset if you do any sort of creative
work. In the sciences, too, this kind of intuition [...]
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.
[..] You could never be happy selling your soul in order to
make a living; and even though you might be able to find creative vehicles in spheres which allow
some compromise between your vision of reality and the needs of the collective, nevertheless the
compromise must be minimal [...]
[..] This
is, in part, because there is a piece of your soul in every creative project you embark on, and it
is impossible to be entirely objective because you put so much of your real self into what you do.
But you may need to learn to distance yourself from your work, at least [...]
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.
