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.
[..] The danger is that you may start a lot of
things and never finish them, because you become easily bored and start trying to read Chapter Six
before you have finished reading Chapter Two. The "up side" is that your fertile imagination and
ability to generate an endless stream [...]
[..] You may also need a variety of tasks, rather than just one. Look for work which allows you
to develop a range of skills, rather than work which requires you to use only one. You may have
more than one talent - for example, visual as well as verbal - and could enjoy editing [...]
[..] It reflects a deep conviction that life
should be something more than drudgery and survival. Don't abandon that conviction. Although it

that you have a much better chance of being [...]
IV. Know Your Limits

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.
[..] " can sometimes be a wonderful spur to finding
just the right vocational path; but it can also spoil things when you have actually found the
thing that truly suits you. Your chief limitation, in terms of your work, springs from your
greatest gift: your ability to envisage [...]
[..] When you do not pay the world's dues, something in you feels
uncomfortable, as though you have somehow cheated or received "freebies" which you have not
deserved. And your self-respect suffers accordingly. It is important that you recognise this
voice, for if it remains [...]
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.
