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.
Whatever your skills and talents, you are fundamentally a romantic, in the literary rather than
the colloquial sense of the term. In other words, you need to know that you are connected to a
higher or deeper level of life, and that the work you do is in some way a contribution [...]
[..] But in such spheres, you will always have conflicts with those whose methods and
ethics are questionable. And conflict is something which, despite your clarity of thinking, you
deeply abhor. Too much conflict in your working life can make you feel very depressed if not
actually [...]
[..] But your eyes are so focused on what is good and beautiful that too much exposure
to what cannot be redeemed can drag you down into a depressed state. You need to strike a balance
between your compassion and your craving for harmony, beauty, and meaning.
You also need to [...]
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 chief limitation, in terms of seeking a fulfilling vocation, is your difficulty in putting up
with the ordinary and the imperfect. Your ideals are extremely high; and although it would be
wrong for you to be disloyal to them, you may also need to recognise that loyalty [...]
[..] 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.
