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.
[..] Although you are security-conscious, you are not driven by ambition, and
you may not always recognise when others are. Don't let anyone push you or unload their own
conflicts on you. You may not be looking for greener grass in other pastures, but those who work
with you [...]
[..] Consider fields such as psychotherapy, for you would appreciate the discipline of a sound
training and the confidence and sense of security it gives, and at the same time satisfy your need
to delve into spheres which are anything but mundane. Some area of the arts might [...]
[..] This quality of passion and love of the depths might equip you to work
with the human psyche, in fields ranging from depth psychotherapy to forensic psychiatry. Although
you are too sensible to fall foul of the law, you might also be drawn to work with the criminal
mind, [...]
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.
Your chief limitation, in terms of finding a fulfilling working life, arises from your greatest
strength: your common sense and firm relationship to material reality. The positive dimension of
this quality is that you are extremely well-grounded. The difficulty is that [...]
[..] Unless you are prepared to
acknowledge both your longing and the horizons toward which it impels you, you may run the risk of
tying yourself to work which, for a time, may be rewarding on material levels, but which
eventually makes you feel deeply discontented and deprived [...]
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.
