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 also have a deep sense of integrity, and are
prepared to take responsibility for your mistakes. But you are not interested in taking
responsibility for anyone else's, which is why working with committees and institutions may be the
wrong setting for you. If you achieve [...]
[..] You are accustomed to fending for yourself, and in fact prefer it that way, for you are
mistrustful of too much dependency, especially of the material kind. You might be prepared to
offer support to others if you feel they deserve it; but you are always on guard against [...]
[..] Your work needs to bring you sufficient acknowledgement of your specialness, and
you should avoid jobs where your achievements are ignored or subsumed in a larger organisation or
institution. You might do well in some sphere of the arts, whether or not you are actually
talented [...]
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.
[..] Others' generosity does
not always carry a price tag, and you may need to remember that there will always be times when
you must turn to others for support or advice or expertise in order to further your own goals.
Your insistence on autonomy can also make it hard for you [...]
[..] Sometimes you are so certain you are right that you can be inflexible and unwilling to recognise
when valid criticism is being offered; and you can also rebel against others' requests simply
because you don't like being told what to do. You need to balance your will with [...]
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.
