Marion D March Regulus Awards Banquet

Monday September 7, 2026 7:00pm - 10:00pm CDT

Grand Ballroom - 7th floor

The Marion D. March Regulus Awards are widely regarded as the “Oscars” of the astrology world, celebrating the highest standards of excellence in the profession. Established at UAC 1989, the awards recognized outstanding achievement in five areas of astrological endeavor. A Lifetime Achievement Award was added in 1992, and at UAC 1998 the honors were renamed the Marion D. March Regulus Awards. Since then, the Marion and Nico March Family Foundation has generously provided a cash prize for each recipient. Beginning in 2026, that award doubles to $2,000, reflecting the Foundation’s extraordinary and enduring commitment. UAC honors the March Family Foundation's vision and generosity.
