JUNE MARSDEN was the pseudonym of the Sydney socialite Mrs Erica Ingram-Moore. She studied astrology in the United States where her husband, a theosophist, worked in radio construction. After returning to Australia in 1935 she published her first astrology book, Follow Your Stars to Success (Sydney, 1935) which was republished in America in 1956. She became President of the Australian Astrological Research Society in 1936, and was vice president of the International College of Astrology. She wrote a popular weekly horoscope column for the Australian Women’s Weekly from 1936 until 1949. In the late 1930s her horoscopes also appeared in the Sunday Telegraph, and she broadcast on 2GB during the 1930s and 1940s. She was also involved in Australian ufology (the study of UFOs).
