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.
[..] You are likely to be
fastidious in your working habits, and therefore need a working environment where chaos is minimal
and you can set your routines according to your own natural rhythms. You are also likely to be
fastidious in your response to work colleagues. While you [...]
[..] Working around loud, coarse, chaotic people can be deeply
disturbing to you; you are not overly tolerant of others' habits if they create mess or offend
your sensitivities in any way. Make sure you choose carefully with respect for your boundaries and
an appreciation of [...]
[..] You would probably be uncomfortable at routine work, and are likely
to function best if you have projects where the end is in sight and you can look forward to the
next challenge. If you work in the arts, this means ensuring that you are not engaged in long-term
endeavours [...]
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.
[..] You may also need to allow your own work to be less than perfect,
and not expect so much either of yourself or of others. No one gets it right all the time. Some of
your insistence on perfection arises from a deep anxiety that, if you do not get it right, you
will be criticised [...]
[..] This could be critical in terms of your enjoying good
relationships with colleagues and co-workers, and also with those in authority. Emotional honesty
may involve darker emotions which are better aired than stifled. This does not mean you must go
around behaving like a [...]
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.
