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.
[..] In discovering your need to serve something greater, you
still need to feel you are effectual in your efforts to anchor your ideals.
In some ways you would be well suited to a "fifth column" kind of work, embedded within a
conventional structure or company but quietly dedicated [...]
There is a constant tension in you between your intuitive perception of the meaning in things, and
your pragmatic need to live in the so-called "real" world. If you do purely practical work, your
craving for contact with subtler levels of existence can make you restless, [...]
[..] Although this conflict between your ideals
and your emotions may have caused difficulty in your early life, your understanding of the power
of the instincts and desire nature could be a formidable tool in the hands of a healer; for you
are not likely to view others' emotional [...]
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.
[..] But you may sometimes forget
that pleasure, joy, and the ability to live in the moment are equally part of life. You can be
very intense, sometimes to the point where you deny yourself the kind of ordinary everyday
pleasures that, for many people, constitute their reason [...]
[..] Discrimination is an important faculty which you may need to
work hard to develop, however hard or selfish it may sound; there is only one of you, and you
would be wiser to give your energy where it is most productive and needed, rather than where it
can be exploited or [...]
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.
