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.
[..] Even
if you are in a prominent position with considerable responsibilities, you tend to wear these
responsibilities lightly, as though waiting for the time when your real potential can be
unleashed. You need constant challenges and constant new vehicles through which you [...]
[..] You need to feel that your work has meaning, and that you are
learning from it as well as earning financial remuneration. If you are not able to learn, you
cannot see the point of bothering. You also need to know that there is some kind of deeper or
higher purpose in what [...]
[..] You also have a taste for the colourful, the dramatic, and the intense - whether you express this
through your personal style or work with ideas, artistic media, or other individuals who can
provide you with the kind of emotional and imaginative stimulus you need. You love [...]
IV. Know Your Limits

Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
[..] But it can also make you deeply discontented
with every situation in which you find yourself. As long as you are perpetually comparing the
present with your vision of what might be, you will always find fault with what you have; and this
could interfere with your ability [...]
[..] But you
also need a balance between your desire to keep pursuing the hidden treasure and your willingness
to spend time completing what you start. This issue really hinges on those feelings of being
special which are both your greatest spur to development and your greatest [...]
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.
