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.
[..] However profound and serious your inclinations, you become easily bored
having to work with ideas which are past their sell-by date, and where the excitement of
communicating new ways of thinking to others is lacking. Stay away from more traditional work
environments where [...]
[..] The law might
provide you with an excellent field in which to express your ideals and convictions; and the
political arena could as well, provided you are able to align yourself with those who are at least
reasonably clean and honest in their dealings. Humanitarian projects [...]
[..] Friendship
and work are interwoven in your ideal work setting, and you are more likely to make friends with
those who share your work interests - however far away they live - than with those whom you meet
over the garden wall at home. You need a community around you of people [...]
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 world is filled with others, and you need to work in an environment where you can be inspired
by others' ideas and offer your own for discussion and debate. You also like feeling part of a
group, and would probably not be entirely happy working on your own. The opinions [...]
[..] Although this may sometimes feel
uncomfortable, and you may try to avoid such feelings by plunging into group work and group
sharing even more intensely, this sensitivity to what lies beneath the surface could be an
enormous asset rather than a limitation in your working [...]
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.
