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 are an honest and straightforward person, and you tend to approach life without impossible
expectations. You also approach the issue of work in a straight and honest way, expecting to be
rewarded but not inclined to wear yourself out in the pursuit of the perfect job [...]
[..] This
could make you sometimes overly concerned with financial matters, and you may feel that a secure,
humdrum job is a better choice than one which is exciting but risky in financial rewards. However,
it is important for you to understand as deeply as possible just why [...]
[..] Environmental issues may concern you, as long as your work allows you to see real, practical
results. Creating or marketing products which make a real improvement in the quality of life could
also attract you. You may be drawn to the world of crafts, or building, or architecture, [...]
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.
[..] This could
leave you vaguely discontented, even though you have the gift of deriving satisfaction from what
you do in the moment. And it may also block the use of real creative talent, because you aim for
what is possible according to your assessment of reality rather than [...]
[..] This does not
just mean fantasising when you are away from work; it means allowing creative inspirations and
intuitions to invigourate your ideas, so that your work can have a quality of originality and
vision as well as being thorough and sound. You can be rather critical [...]
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.
