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 have a quality of detachment which is necessary for such introverted work, yet
you are also able to feel deeply and identify with others' motives and emotional states. You might
be as able to write a powerful "thriller" as a clear and concise textbook or manual. You do [...]
[..] Yet you prefer to disguise
these qualities, because you probably learned long ago that emotional intensity can open the way
to exploitation by others. You might make an excellent psychologist or psychoanalyst; and even if
you do not pursue this path professionally, you probably [...]
[..] This may have been a problem for you when you were younger. Don't let
past experiences make you deny the need for acquiring knowledge of the most thorough possible
kind. If your education was interrupted or incomplete, go back and pick up where you left off; you
are more [...]
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.
[..] You may
sometimes feel that everyone, including yourself, is out to get what they can, and such a spirit
can erode the pleasure you might feel in both your work and in your working colleagues. You may
also aim too low, because you fail to recognise that a positive attitude [...]
[..] Enmity and power struggles
could also arise if you assert your own power too strongly without recognising that others need to
feel important and useful too. Your need for control will never entirely disappear, and nor should
it; it ensures that you will always rise to the [...]
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.
