Lois Rodden provided the following biography:
"Marion March was a German-American astrologer who began her studies in 1966 and was a top professional by 1970. She co-authored, with Joan McEvers, the best-selling six volume series entitled The Only Way To Learn Astrology, By 1984, 50,000 books had been sold.

"Marion was the co-founder of Aquarius Workshops in 1973 and editor of Aspects journal from 1973-1979. In 1986 and 1989 she served as the director of the United Astrology Congress as well as co-founder and director of AFAN. Along with Neil Michelson and others, Marion was one of the instigators in establishing the United Astrology Congress lovingly known as UAC '86. Together with an outstanding group of people, she coordinated that one, most of '89 in New Orleans, and the one in Washington DC in '92.

"She was an internationally known and respected lecturer and teacher who received many awards. Her honors include the PAI Award, the Aquarius Workshops Award, the Regulus Award, which she won twice, and her listing in Who's Who Among Women in 1985. (As of the 2002 UAC the award has been renamed the Marion March Regulus Award in her honor.)

"She was interested and involved in her "second family," the astrological community, up to the end of her life. She kept up an international correspondence through email and maintained classes at her home in Encino, CA. For the last week, she was simply too tired; and she died peacefully in the arms of her beloved husband, Nico, on May 28, 2001. It was Memorial Day, appropriately, as her memory will remain as one of the outstanding 20th century figures in her field."
