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.
Whatever your skills and talents, you are fundamentally a romantic, in the literary rather than
the colloquial sense of the term. In other words, you need to know that you are connected to a
higher or deeper level of life, and that the work you do is in some way a contribution [...]
[..] But in such spheres, you will always have conflicts with those whose methods and
ethics are questionable. And conflict is something which, despite your clarity of thinking, you
deeply abhor. Too much conflict in your working life can make you feel very depressed if not
actually [...]
[..] Because of your
great sensitivity, you pick up all the unspoken undercurrents flowing around you, sometimes
without even realising why you are feeling uncomfortable. Your psychic openness is a great gift,
but it is sometimes confusing because you are not sufficiently grounded [...]
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.
[..] This means not only a tendency to
be dissatisfied with those you work with, but also an inclination to be overly hard on yourself
and distressed when you feel you have somehow "failed" to live up to your high standards. Your
ideas and aspirations are wonderfully clear. But sometimes [...]
[..] Part of the difficulty is that you do not think in a strictly linear way, but are
receptive to images and circuitous associations which are not easy to communicate in words. This
is, in itself, an asset in any work which requires artistic expression or an intuitive level [...]
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.
