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.
[..] It is possible that, in an earlier phase of life, you might have pursued
material rewards for their own sake, and demonstrated your organising skills and qualities of
leadership in a more mundane sphere. In discovering your need to serve something greater, you
still need [...]
[..] You could do this through one of the creative media -writing, painting, working
in theatre or film - provided what you create is able to convey a message rather than being merely
pretty or pleasing. Or you could create structures such as a school or business which is solidly
[...]
[..] Make sure you do not identify too closely with those whom you perceive
to be scapegoated; for if you begin to feel like a scapegoat yourself, and place more emphasis on
life's pain than on its joy, you will not be able to maintain the objectivity you need in these
fields [...]
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 pleasure, joy, and the ability to live in the moment are equally part of life. You can be
very intense, sometimes to the point where you deny yourself the kind of ordinary everyday
pleasures that, for many people, constitute their reason [...]
[..] You do not need
to "buy" your place in the world through work which gives you no personal pleasure; and you may
need to learn to value yourself more and stop feeling you have to labour on behalf of others to
pay for the air you breathe. Life does give many things freely, [...]
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.
