Biography

American astrologer, writer, teacher and lecturer who seldom charged for her services. During travels throughout her youth, she met her future husband, Frank Vohryzek, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where she had been sent by the U.S. State Department in the early years of World War II. He was a refugee from the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia who had emigrated to Ecuador at the start of the war. They were married on 7 October 1943, lived in San Francisco and had nine daughters together (including one set of twins and one daughter who died aged 4 months); she was widowed on 5 June 1983.

Marc Penfield relates that when he moved to San Francisco from Chicago in August 1970, she was the first astrologer he met. She taught him about Ebertin's book on midpoints and his theory of cosmobiology, Johndro's concept of geodetic equivalents, the Koch house system, Thyrza Escobar's theory of Duads, and advanced systems of progressions.

Mary Vohryzek translated Elsbeth and Reinhold Ebertin's "Anatomical Correspondence to Zodiacal Degrees" as published by NCGR in Winter 1986. She wrote the forward to Louise McWhirter's 1988 book Astrology and stock market forecasting.

By 1987 she had developed Epstein-Barr syndrome. She died of lung cancer on 19 May 1988 at 8:35 PM in Rockport, Massachusetts, one day short of her 67th birthday.

Source Notes

Lorraine Welsh quotes her (for 3:04 PM) in NCGR newsletter Vol 13/1.

In June 2021 Astrodatabank received a letter from Vohryzek's friend Marc Penfield: "Even though the B.C. says she was born at 4:30 pm - her mother told her she was born 45 min. earlier due to massive bleeding at her birth. The doctor placed the child on a table for 3/4 of an hour while he sewed her up attempting to stop the bleeding."

Her last name is given as "Lynch" in her daughters' entries in the California Birth Index, and her full name as "Mary McCabe Lynch" in an online biography of her husband, Frantisek Benno Vohyrzek [1].
