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.
[..] 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 something on your own, you want it acknowledged. If someone
else does well, you can offer praise [...]
[..] This intense self-sufficiency makes
you ideally equipped to manage your own business or organisation, for you can be shrewd and canny
as well as possessing excellent planning and organising skills. You could also do well in an
independent profession, particularly since you [...]
[..] Always aim for independence in your work. You might make a fine artist or writer, for you do not
fear the solitude required to produce good creative work; you might wish to work freelance in a
trade where your skills are available when and where you wish. Setting up your [...]
IV. Know Your Limits

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 have no difficulty in
accepting responsibility for your own mistakes, but the assistance of others could sometimes help
to prevent the mistakes from being made in the first place. You can't achieve everything yourself,
nor is there a rule carved on a stone tablet which [...]
[..] You need to balance your will with some detachment,
so that you can see when your ideas or creative work could do with some improvement or adjustment;
and you may also need to remind yourself that you live in a world with other people, all of whom
merit at least some recognition [...]
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.
