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.
[..] If you have a more practical bent, you
could combine your love of order with an appreciation of fine craft, and you might make an
excellent engineer or craftsman, a computer programmer or an architect. Many fields might suit
you, provided they offer a vehicle for your mental [...]
[..] When you have an
intuitive sense that something is right, you will test it against your own rational faculties; and
if it passes your exacting standards, it becomes part of your world-view and cannot be shifted by
others' differing opinions. You need to work in a sphere [...]
[..] You could also work in many technical areas of the arts, such as lithography and web design, and
you might also have skill in music theory as well as musical practice. Your natural refinement,
orderly thinking, self-containment, and need for privacy suggest that you might [...]
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 your very rationality can sometimes
exclude many dimensions of life which do not lend themselves to the lens of your scrutiny. In your
personal life, the emotional realm may cause you many difficulties. In your working life, the
realm of the imagination may be excluded [...]
[..] When you are attempting to be most "scientific", you are likely to
be in the grip of an inspiration which, while perhaps immensely creative, is not Truth in any
proven sense; and when you are being most careful to measure ideas against reality, you are at
your most open [...]
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.
