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 your nature has special gifts which deserve the
kind of work which could fulfil you rather than merely ensuring a reasonably comfortable material
existence. Your close observation of human nature could make you a natural psychologist, for you
know that no individual [...]
[..] You could work within a company or organisation, provided its ethics and codes are sound and its
structure orderly; but you might also do well working on your own, for you have the motivation and
self-discipline to set up your own schedules and structures. You are not especially [...]
[..] Because communication of a superficial kind does not come easily to you, it is all the more
important that you are able to express your ideas in some form. You both need and fear isolation,
and it would be both challenging and healing if you are able to present your thoughts [...]
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.
[..] But you may sometimes forget that, because something happens once, or even twice, that
does mean it will always happen in the future; and a negative outlook can actually create a
certain kind of future and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are likely to be a high achiever
[...]
[..] But if you do not acknowledge
your need of at least a few close working colleagues with whom you can share your doubts and
anxieties, you may be subject to a good deal of stress and worry simply because you do not realise
that the support is there if only you would ask for [...]
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.
