Below is some sample text from a number of the chapters of an
Opportunities report, created from Diane Keaton’s birth data.
These excerpts show the writing style of the author, Michael Erlewine.
The printed reports are nicely formatted and output on 8 1/2" x 11"

"Profile" cover.
Introduction
This report describes your vocational aptitudes from the astrological
perspective so that they can be matched in the career marketplace.
While the jobs themselves are ever-changing, personality is a solid
base to work from. Self-understanding can supply the physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual clues to your best line of work. Then
you can determine how to apply your strongest capabilities to the
career field you find most attractive.
Skills and Talents
[Where You have the "Best Advantage"
[most dignified planet]
You have the advantage in career, as well as other areas of your life,
when you are able to express the following abilities: innovativeness,
independence, originality, a sense of adventure, intuition, and a
scientific approach to tasks. You can see potential equilibrium in the
midst of work turmoil. The ability to bring thinking and intuition
together makes you a powerful manager of your own time and of others...
Individual Strengths Being Developed at This Time
As you travel life's path, the balance of your attention changes. These
shifts allow you to experience the world in different ways for a period
of time, and thereby to develop new skills. The periodic shifts provide
what you need to gain perspective if you are to take advantage of
learning opportunities as they are presented. These shifts may call for
career changes as well.
At this time you have the potential to grow through patient
considerations of how factors in the environment are likely to evolve.
By considering the practical outcome, you give yourself another way to
evaluate problems and deal with them. Your thought processes are
stimulated. You are able to learn to apply logic to whatever situation
you encounter, and you take a somewhat businesslike attitude to
everything in your life...
The Substance of Your Ideal Career
The focus is on your melancholy or emotional struggle. You fret over
your work, much as you fret over other areas of your life. Your best
work is done in a serious environment, and you may not participate in
the office pranks or silliness. While you are off in your laboratory
working away, you are also working with your emotions in the back of
your mind. Avoid job situations where your feelings are put on display.
You have the ability to concentrate on your research abilities and
emotional endurance to see you through the long haul. Keep this in mind
in every area of endeavor, not just vocation. You learn from deep
research and metaphysical experiences...
Your Career Success
You are a born planner. You can seemingly see into the future and
figure out just the right direction to take. At the same time you want
to be held up as a shining example for your peers, so being stuck in an
office alone is not good. Expect a mix of conservative attitudes with
spiritual leanings.
Career fields suited to your sense of yourself include writers, ad
writers, advertising agents, airline employees, radio and television
announcers, attorneys, booksellers, book publishers, and broadcasting
technicians. In addition you may wish to consider churchmen, clergymen,
theologians, counselors. A third group of possibilities include flight
engineers, pilots, missile engineers and explorers. Finally, hunters,
jockeys, judges, lecturers, military officers, navy men, professors,
publicity directors, travel agents and traveling salesmen...
The Best Work Environment for You
The best work environments for you include residences, hotels, boats,
beaches, docks, sheltered places, wells, fountains, ditches, canals,
hydrants, kitchens, cellars, laundries, plumbing lines, north walls or
rooms.
Geographic locations which may be suited to your work include Africa,
Amsterdam, Southern California, Central Canada, China, Holland, Idaho,
New Hampshire, New York, New Zealand, Paraguay, Pittsburgh, or
Wyoming...
Financial Considerations and Self Esteem
Of the three vocational considerations, money is usually the most
personal and private. Yet at the end of your life, all you have to take
with you is your self worth. All the money, all the material
possessions, all the opinions of other people will make no difference
at all. What you think of yourself is all you will have. Thus other
considerations such as moral growth, personal debts other than those
involving money, and self esteem are tremendously important human
issues. The question this chapter revolves around is this: How do you
maximize your potential, fulfill your higher mission, satisfy your
daimon, obtain the money you need to live, enjoy your life, enhance
your moral growth, all within the confines of the natural talents you
possess, in such a way that at the end of your life, you are satisfied
- personally satisfied - that you did well?...
Career or Mission?
Mercury reflects your role as mediator. Mediation occurs not only in
conflict resolution between or among people; it is an internal psychic
function as well. With Mercury in Taurus in the heliocentric chart,
your principal path of approach to paradoxical problems of all kinds is
through the desire to express through personality. This expression of
the bull can become stubbornness, or it can exemplify purposeful
progress. The co-existence of physical form and spiritual will
illuminate our individual desires as well as the powerful idealism of
the larger sphere of life. "The secret of Taurus ... is revealed in the
blinding energy of light (through) the sudden removal ... of world
glamour ..."
