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 may find yourself pushed to
your limits by those who have discovered that you can be trusted to do things reliably and well.
Make sure your boundaries are firm, and learn to say "No!", strongly if necessary, so that you do
not wind up "carrying the can" for lazier souls. Place a [...]
[..] Your fine practical sense could equip you to work in crafts or
design; your curiosity about how things are made might attract you to working in technical fields,
or with human resources, or in one of the helping professions. You might make a fine counsellor,
therapist, doctor, [...]
[..] But your longing to be touched by a bigger, brighter, more
magical world may not be entirely appropriate for your personal life, especially if you seek
stability there. You need to find work in which the spirit of play and adventure can be expressed.
There is a somewhat [...]
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.
[..] The difficulty is that you may sometimes be
too earthbound, and too unwilling to listen to intuitions and glimpses of a creative inner world.
Your concern with material stability and the enjoyment of worldly pleasures ensure that you are
likely to find success; but you may [...]
[..] You do not trust what you cannot see, and you are reluctant to
accept as truth intuitions without material foundation, or emotional realities which do not make
sense in logical terms. The pragmatic nature of your thinking is a great asset in your work, and
you are nobody's [...]
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.
