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 appreciate the importance of good training and
value the development of top-quality skills, and you should aim to polish your talents to the
highest possible degree - either through a lengthy training or apprenticeship, or through a lot of
hands-on practical application. Somewhere in [...]
[..] You also have a strong urge to create beauty and order, and if you
do not find it around you, you may start putting everyone else's work in order in an effort to
keep chaos and ugliness at bay. Working around loud, coarse, chaotic people can be deeply
disturbing to you; [...]
[..] Journalism might suit you, although your aesthetic standards may
preclude the ordinary garden variety of reporting; but if you were required to assess the value of
a book, a painting, or a play, you might make an excellent critic, incisive yet not brutal in your
assessment. This gift [...]
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.
[..] Some of
your insistence on perfection arises from a deep anxiety that, if you do not get it right, you
will be criticised or rejected or deemed a failure. This may spring from early experiences which
have left their mark on you; but if so, perhaps it is time to become a [...]
[..] This is a strong asset, which will always ensure you the respect and co-operation of those with
whom you work. But you also have very intense feelings, which cannot be entirely ignored or
suppressed. Despite your love of reason, and your wish to maintain a high code of ethics [...]
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.
