Mundane Lessons

Mundane Astrology, Political Astrology, and Predictive Astrology. This archival document is an introductory reference guide titled “MUNDANE ASTROLOGY” by Marion D. March. March details the principles and interpretive rules of political and mundane astrology, which applies astrological symbolism to nations, cities, and mass populations rather than individuals. She outlines key predictive timing frameworks, including Solar and Lunar eclipses, Lunations, and Solar Ingresses—highlighting the Capricorn Ingress as particularly critical for world governments and international relations. The text provides extensive, specialized mundane definitions for all twelve astrological houses, the ten primary planetary bodies, and the twelve zodiac signs.

Fertility, Infertility and Astrology (1991)


Fertility Astrology, Medical Astrology, Electional Astrology. This archival document is a lecture manuscript titled “FERTILITY, INFERTILITY and ASTROLOGY” by Marion D. March, dated around 1991 to 1996. March expands upon her research into Dr. Eugen Jonas’s lunar-solar fertility cycle and its integration with modern reproductive medicine. She reiterates that astrological fertility cycles are highly unreliable for birth control, but serves as a powerful electional tool for timing pregnancies. The manuscript provides guidelines for electing conception windows based on applying lunar aspects, natal chart distance matching, and managing timing relative to physical ovulation and biological constraints. March addresses assisted reproductive procedures including artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), GIFT, and ZIFT, asserting that the critical electional moment for astrological timing occurs at embryo implantation rather than egg harvesting or fertilization. The text features technical client worksheets, correspondence, case studies, and discussions on gender prediction, lunar sign polarities, and navigating pregnancy complications.

March outlines foundational rules for choosing auspicious timing for major life events, emphasizing applying lunar aspects, waxing Moons, avoiding void-of-course conditions, and keeping malefic planets out of angular houses. She discusses planetary rulerships (including modern applications for Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), retrograde planets, intercepted signs, and the use of the Part of Fortune. The manuscript presents specific electional criteria and worked case examples for marriage, home relocation, real estate purchases and sales, corporate launches, organizational horoscopes (incorporating Rex Bills’ house definitions), and vehicle purchases (including a Rolls-Royce transaction).

Electional Astrology Rules

Electional Astrology, Astrological Timing Techniques, and Event Charts. This archival document is an instructional reference guide titled “ELECTIONAL ASTROLOGY” by Marion D. March. March presents a comprehensive framework of rules for selecting optimal timing to initiate significant life decisions and events. She outlines core foundational rules, such as prioritizing applying lunar aspects, favoring waxing Moons over waning ones, avoiding void of course Moons, and positioning benefics (Jupiter and Venus) above the horizon while managing Saturn and Uranus in angular houses. The manuscript details specialized criteria for specific scenarios, including marriage, moving into a home, purchasing vehicles or real estate, commencing lawsuits, scheduling surgery, and launching a business or corporation. March emphasizes that while the electional chart acts as the birth chart for an event and takes temporary precedence over a client’s natal chart, astrologers must maintain realistic expectations as no chart can be completely flawless.

Dynamics of Professionalism

Astrological Ethics, Professional Practice, and Astrological Education. This archival document is a lecture transcript titled “DYNAMICS OF PROFESSIONALISM” by Marion D. March. March addresses three main areas necessary to establish astrology as a respected profession in the 21st century: student education, client consultation practices, and improving public perception. She cautions against amateur astrologers making damaging, fatalistic predictions, emphasizing the need for formal counseling training, boundaries, and compassion without judgment. March details practical consultation standards, including obtaining verified birth data, setting appropriate professional fees to overcome “poverty consciousness” (referencing advice from astrologer Barbara Watters in 1975), maintaining a professional office setting, avoiding jargon, and respecting client privacy. To elevate the field, she advocates separating professional astrology from entertainment (such as 900-numbers and psychic fairs), pursuing university-level degree programs like the Kepler Project, and exploring professional licensing frameworks similar to those used for acupuncturists.
