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 also have a deep sense of integrity, and are
prepared to take responsibility for your mistakes. But you are not interested in taking
responsibility for anyone else's, which is why working with committees and institutions may be the
wrong setting for you. If you achieve [...]
[..] Make sure you find a place where you can have this kind of independence, and where
your mind is challenged. If you are a more physical sort of person, competitive sport might suit
you; if you are a more intellectual type, debate might also suit you. To get the best from [...]
[..] Setting up your own business is a
possibility, but even with this degree of independence you still need to work with people, and you
may find yourself as impatient with employees as you are with employers. You expect others to show
as much stamina, originality, and spirit [...]
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.
[..] Others' generosity does
not always carry a price tag, and you may need to remember that there will always be times when
you must turn to others for support or advice or expertise in order to further your own goals.
Your insistence on autonomy can also make it hard for you [...]
[..] It is likely that early
experiences taught you the unreliability of others' promises, and you may have had your share of
disappointment in those who seemed to believe in you and then let you down when you really needed
them. This may have made you intensely self-sufficient, [...]
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.
