Jeff Mayo was a British astrologer whose work impacted thousands of astrology students world-wide. He succeeded Margaret Hone as principal of the Faculty of Astrological Studies. In 1973, his Mayo School of Astrology opened its doors. He also created a correspondence course, complete with rigorous examinations, several levels of competency, and a diploma. The school, which has had students from around the world, continues to thrive, and you can find out about its program on line.

Jeff's instructional texts had a highly deserved reputation. They included The Planets and Human Behavior, Teach Yourself Astrology, and his 1995 book, Astrology, a Key to Personality. Some of these are still available through major bookstore chains, but Astrology Center of America carries most of them.

BIRTH AND DEATH DATA: Rated A by AstroDatabank, his birthdata is from his memory. He was born October 7, 1921, in London, England, at 8:00 AM GMT. He died after a long bout of cancer on April 17, 1998, at 9:10 AM GDT in Barnstable, England.

About Margaret Hone and Jeff Mayo: The bios you have don't mention that Margaret Hone succeded C.E.O. Carter as the principal of the Faculty for Astrological Studies and that Hone was suceeded by Jeff Mayo. I was a correspondent student of the school 1971-72 and had Jeff Mayo as my teacher. An author who attended the school and who inspired me to take their course was Alexandra Mark, whose excellent book, Astrology for the Aquarian Age is one of the best I ever read. She is the one who set me on the path of British Astrology via FAS.
