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 can be fair and generous in
your attitude toward colleagues, but it is difficult for you to conform, and even more difficult
for you to accept a structure or work ideology imposed on you by others.
Many spheres of work require close participation in a team. This is not [...]
[..] You probably enjoy independent projects, where you can come up with an
idea, follow it through according to your own design, and present the results after having had to
work hard to achieve them. Interference from others can rouse you to great anger, for you believe
you [...]
[..] 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 [...]
[..] This may have made you intensely self-sufficient, not only because you have an independent
spirit but because you are frightened of being hurt and let down again. But you can sometimes take
this mistrust too far, not allowing others to help or share your goals. You may doubt [...]
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.
