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.
[..] Your work needs to fire your imagination, satisfy your
intellectual curiosity, allow you a sense of contact with life's mysteries, and, most importantly,
give you a feeling that you are here for a good purpose. These requirements are not impossible to
meet. But they do preclude [...]
You have clear, definite ideas about how things should be done, how people should treat each
other, and how the world could be made a better place. But you do not possess the kind of
aggressive nature which would suit you to work in spheres where such changes are made forcibly, [...]
[..] Certain areas of the helping professions may indeed suit you. But you need to be careful not to
overestimate your capacity to tolerate an endless litany of misery without respite. You need
light, beauty, and grace in your working environment; and it may be wise to ensure [...]
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.
[..] It is a question of learning to live with discontent
while still maintaining your ideals. No sphere of work will ever provide you with the power to
wave a magic wand and change the nature of the world in one lifetime; nor will you ever be able to
create in form the beautiful [...]
[..] You may also have difficulty in being direct in terms of what you want others to do,
and this can be an enormous problem if you work within an organisation or with a team because
misunderstandings and communication breakdowns can easily occur. Clarity and brevity are important
[...]
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.
