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.
[..] So, too, may the
helping professions, provided you are able to train in a discipline which can place human
suffering within the context of a philosophical or spiritual framework. Too much of a clinical or
sociological emphasis may prove disillusioning to you. You might also [...]
[..] You love to know how things work, and to discover the patterns hidden beneath. But your
motivation is not so much scientific in the pragmatic sense as it is spiritual in the broadest
sense. You may have a desire for precise knowledge, but behind your quest lies an intuition [...]
[..] Although you are not especially
worldly, nevertheless you are extremely resilient, because you are an optimist at heart with a lot

excellent educator, provided you have receptive minds [...]

Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
[..] Money for its own sake is unlikely to ever be your chief motivation,
and your ideals ensure that self-centredness will never corrode your desire to devote yourself to
a higher good. But there are likely to be complex issues behind your discomfort with the material
world, [...]
[..] Yet you may hang back,
fearing isolation and feeling vaguely guilty if you achieve more recognition or material rewards
than less fortunate souls. This guilt about "having" more than others, although it may reflect
your very genuine compassion for those who have suffered [...]
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.
