DIE AUSDRUCKSEBENEN DES SEXUELLEN POTENTIAL IM HOROSKOP

Sexual Potential in the Horoscope

Sex Astrology, Astrological Techniques, and Archetypal Astrology. This archival document is a German-language lecture transcript titled “DIE AUSDRUCKSEBENEN DES SEXUELLEN POTENTIAL IM HOROSKOP” (The Levels of Expression of Sexual Potential in the Horoscope) by Marion D. March. March analyzes the multi-faceted role of sexuality within natal horoscopes, emphasizing that sexual indicators cannot be isolated from the total personality structure. She breaks down technical astrological markers (including the 5th and 8th houses, planetary rulers, aspects, and sign archetypes) while drawing on classical mythology (Aphrodite/Venus, Ares/Mars, and Hades/Pluto) to unpack psychological motivations. The lecture features case studies with accompanying birth charts for Marilyn Monroe, Xaviera Hollander, David Bowie, Richard Pryor, Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Tennessee Williams, and Gertrude Stein. Additionally, March critiques simplistic signatures for homosexuality/bisexuality and examines a 4-planet scoring test developed by Dr. G.G. Stoctay.

DAS JETZT ALS ZUNKUNFT DER VERGANGENHEIT

  • 1993

Modern vs. Traditional Astrology, German, and Astrology Ethics. This German-language archival document is a transcript titled “DAS JETZT ALS ZUKUNFT DER VERGANGENHEIT” (The Present as the Future of the Past) written by Marion D. March in 1993. March explores the relationship between historical precedent and future advancement in both global society and astrology as the turn of the millennium approaches. She analyzes the shift from fatalistic traditional astrology to modern psychological approaches emphasizing free will. However, March cautions against abandoning traditional methods entirely, highlighting the resurgence and value of electional (time choice) and horary astrology alongside ancient systems like Feng Shui and the I-Ching. She also addresses persistent public skepticism, church opposition, and incoming planetary transits (such as Uranus and Neptune entering Aquarius and Pluto entering Sagittarius).

Conception & Fertility Elections

Fertility Astrology, Electional Astrology, and Pregnancy Cycles. This archival document is a chapter manuscript titled “CONCEPTION and FERTILITY ELECTIONS” by Marion D. March. March synthesizes over twenty years of practice working with fertility cycles based on Dr. Eugen Jonas’s solar-lunar distance model. She cautions against using fertility cycles for birth control due to biological variables. March outlines electional rules for selecting optimal conception dates, interpreting Moon aspects, and integrating modern assisted reproductive technologies—such as artificial insemination and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The text features detailed case studies and technical chart worksheets for clients (e.g., Mindy, Marissa, Sarah, and Jennifer) to illustrate how timing embryo implantations and fertility windows can support successful pregnancies.

Bebe Parle: Comment Interpreter Le Theme D’Un Infant?

  • L'Ecliptique
  • 1987

Baby Talk – How to Interpret the Charts of Children (French Version)

Astrology for Children, Counseling Astrology, and Astrology Ethics. This archival document is a lecture transcript titled “BABYTALK: Interpreting the Chart for Small Children” by Marion D. March. March addresses the unique ethical and practical responsibilities of delineating horoscopes for toddlers and small children, emphasizing that astrologers consult with parents rather than the children themselves. She cautions against “playing God,” invading a child’s future privacy, or projecting personal values onto potential traits. March discusses the necessity of stress and squares for positive growth, using several real-world case studies (including her daughter Mikki, case charts “Bolly” and “Tina”, Prince William of England, and a teenager named Linda) to demonstrate how early astrological guidance can constructively support musical talents, sibling dynamics, educational paths, and career potential while respecting free will.

US Astrology, Astrological Techniques, and Mundane Astrology. This archival document is a lecture transcript titled “Astrology in America Today” delivered by Marion D. March in April 1994.

Additionally, she details the impact of technology, 900-numbers, experiential astrology, conference models (UAC), and systemic industry challenges, including lack of standardized certification, resistance to licensing, legal restrictions across local jurisdictions, and practitioner “poverty consciousness.”

Astrology and its Professional Image (1994)

  • 1998

Astrological Professionalism, Astrology Ethics, and Professional Standards. This archival document is a lecture transcript/outline by Marion D. March delivered at a gathering on Thursday, May 26, 1994, titled “What Astrology Needs to Enhance its Professional Image”. March outlines key factors necessary to restore astrology to a respected profession, addressing both individual practitioner standards (ethics, advertising, environment, appearance, and knowledge) and systemic industry controversies. Main topics discussed include overcoming “poverty consciousness” by charging proper professional fees, reforming public perception by moving away from superficial sun-sign astrology, 900-numbers, psychic fairs, and quick “readings”, establishing university degrees and specialized training (such as the Kepler project), and implementing professional licensing through standard, primary requirements inspired by the licensing model of acupuncture.

Arabic Parts – Address to the Astrology Buff Club (1973)

  • Astrology Buff Club
  • 1973

Arabic Parts, Lunar Nodes, and Astrological Techniques. This archival item contains an address to the Astrology Buff Club (1973) and an accompanying article by Marion March detailing the deeper, subconscious, and spiritual dimensions of natal horoscopes. March outlines the significance of the Lunar Nodes, explaining the South Node as a point of established past habits and the North Node as a point of growth, challenge, and spiritual fulfillment. She also reinterprets key Arabic Parts using mathematical logic: contrasting the Part of Fortune (Ascendant + Moon – Sun) as one’s personal past with the Part of Spirit (Ascendant + Sun – Moon) as the highest spiritual potential to strive toward. Additionally, March introduces “The Web” (Ascendant + Neptune – Sun), an Arabic Part taught to her by Irma Norman that highlights specific areas where an individual is subconsciously trapped or constrained.
