Faye Blake brings a rare combination of insight, hands on experience, and astrological verve to her work on vocation. She can walk clients through a process that touches both outer necessities and inner calling. A valuable resource.
Christina Rodenbeck – the Oxford Astrologer
Faye's excellent book is tremendously well-conceived and full of good information. I really like her structured approach and thoughtful analysis.
Eric Meyers
Vocational Astrology is a terrific resource for astrologers and counselors interested in supporting clients to live their authentic career. Blake offers a pragmatic strategy in assessing a person's natural orientation to a public contribution. Many ideas about the art of astrological counseling are also included. She brings many years of experience to this work, and writes in a witty and engaging style. This book is not only an enjoyable read for the astrologically-minded, it will help strengthen the tools to be an effective counselor.
Armand Diaz
This book gave me a lot to think about on several levels, a real rarity among astrology books. The author's ideas about structuring the consultation are worth the price of the book even if you aren't interested in doing vocational astrology, but odds are you'll find that vocation is an exciting possibility for your work as an astrologer after reading it. I highly recommend Vocational Astrology to create a Vocational Profile.
Garry Phillipson
In conclusion, I recommend this book to any astrologer whose clients have career problems – in other words, every working astrologer. Even if we leave aside the insights into career issues here (they are substantial and we should not), Faye Blake provides a most useful insight into the ways in which a counselling approach can be dovetailed with astrology.
Margaret Gray
This excellent book is ideal for astrologers at all levels of learning who are interested in applying astrological skills to the task of assisting clients to discover and enhance their vocation for the purpose of feeling fulfilled and living a life that is true to who they are.
Mary Plumb

John Green
Faye has produced a book to tackle the whole arena of career and vocation, and what a book it is. Thought-provoking, fascinating and wonderfully readable.
Jane Ridder-Patrick
Faye Blake sets out a powerful and comprehensive strategy for identifying core factors essential to job satisfaction as well as for writing effective CVs to showcase unique abilities and personality traits to prospective employers. Her book also provides a deceptively simple but effective tool for choosing words and images for websites, marketing and other promotional material that authentically reflect the individual. Vocational Astrology is invaluable for astrologers who offer vocational counselling and anyone looking to clarify and polish their public profile.

I loved Faye's book and thoroughly recommend it. It's not only a terrific and much-needed resource from an expert in both fields - astrology and career guidance - it's also a great read! You'll be very happy you bought it and your clients will reap the benefits too. I've taught for 20 years now and there's been nothing like it for intelligence and usability!
Greg Bogart
Faye, you've written one of the most useful and intelligent books I've seen on vocational astrology. What I especially appreciate is that you don't provide a cookbook approach but really delve into the process work that people need to do to find the occupational path that's right for them. I also find your writing style fluid, engaging, original, and highly expert. I am learning a lot studying your important text.
