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 don't shrink from challenges, but you
don't pursue grand causes or waste your energy in fighting romantic battles which can never be
won. You need work which tests your skills, pushes you to your limits, but also allows you to
relax and enjoy the material fruits of your [...]
[..] A working
partnership or small team of colleagues might suit you better. First, you must focus on what you
do well, and then seek the necessary education or training to refine your skills and make them
marketable. Most importantly, you need something of your own - an idea, [...]
[..] However, your
natural honesty and directness require the right environment for such work; and large institutions
such as the social services might not be the right home for your abilities. If you are drawn to
the helping fields, get the best possible training as an independent [...]
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 your work, arises from one of your great strengths: your
emphasis on the reality of the moment and the importance of dealing with the material world as you
find it. You are direct, grounded, and willing to make the best of what you find [...]
[..] It is likely that early experiences have taught you that dreams lead to
disillusionment, and high aspirations to financial instability. There may be much truth in this
rather sober perception of life, but there is also much wrong with it; people create their own
reality [...]
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.
