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.
[..] As an employee, you want to be given a particular project and then be
left with complete freedom to do what you wish with it. As an employer, you want to be able to let
your staff get on with their work, without your having to prop them up all the time. And as a
working [...]
[..] In order to avoid collisions with such individuals, it might be
better to pursue a path where you can exercise your own authority, as it is unlikely that the
behaviour of the leading figures in many large organisations will ever be to your liking. Although
you respect self-discipline [...]
Your interaction with groups is liable to be a bit problematic. On the one hand, you want to be
useful, and to contribute something to the world in which you live. And loneliness can sometimes
make you especially in need of the approval of others, even if your pride will [...]
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.
John Donne once wrote that no man or woman is an island, but you are not inclined to trust that
dictum. You often do your best to ensure that, even if you live on the mainland, you are protected
by high walls and barricades. This enhances your inner life and ensures that [...]
[..] Your excellent capacity to intuit others' motives is sometimes occluded by
your fear of humiliation, and you can easily lose your objectivity and misinterpret others'
motives if your own early hurts, long forgotten, are invoked by a situation at work. Learn to
cultivate [...]
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.
