Astrology offers a unique system of self-discovery, supplying beginners with simple instructions on how to create and interpret an astrological chart and providing fresh perspectives for old hands. Unlike traditional astrological textbooks that deal solely with interpreting behavior, Mayo proposes that astrology reveals the very roots of behavior, the fundamental "blueprint" of personality. By revealing our hidden potential, astrology can help everyone achieve fulfillment.
In 1973, he founded the Mayo School of Astrology, which after his death has operated from Truro, Cornwall. The school, a member of the Advisory Panel on Astrological Education, offers correspondence courses at both certificate and diploma level and issues a list of its qualified consultants who have gained its diploma, D.M.S.Astrol. Diploma holders are eligible to apply for membership to the Association of Professional Astrologers International.
Mayo's background includes engineering and surveying; during WWII he helped make the maps for the invasion of Europe. He was a fellow of theh Royal Meteorological Society and a member of the British Astronomical Association.
A well-written book on Astrology with all important aspects included. Would recommend, especially for those not recognizing Astrology as a valid direction of knowledge.
I Like this book, astrology is a hobby of mine and I I find this book extremely useful, but then this really a reference book , I have had many years and found it always the easiest to refer to without a lot of jargon etc . Straight forward good references towards the setting up of a chart and reading it, or referrals to further reading.
