I don't believe in astrology-- at all --HOWEVER, it only takes one meeting with maralyn to become convinced that, believe in it or not, there must be something to it, or that this particular astrologer is an astrologer of a different colour. I was AMAZED at her insights: Not only does she seem to "just know" your entire life story, (I also don't believe in mediums, which Maralyn swears she is not) but she gives guidance that would appear tailored specifically to you and to the complexities and uniquenesses of your life: How she does this, is a mystery I'm sure I would not care to investigate further, but one thing is certain: This woman knows EXACTLY what she says, and says EXACTLY what she means: There is no grey area here. A friend of mine insisted that I sign up for a "life chart" with Maralyn. I categorically refused, until this--very generous-- friend actually bought and payed for the "reading," and "gave it to me as a gift. I walked out of this "reading" seriously shaken--the first thing I said to her was: "I don't believe in astrology, just so you know." The first thing she said to me: "That's so you. Of course you don't. You can't. I understand." After a three hour discussion, I had a deeper understanding of my entire life, my past, my present, and most importantly, my future. Maralyn gives you "charts" that allow you to plot future investments, career moves, anything at all, at the right times, in order that these movements have the best chances of succeeding. When I met Maralyn, the last thing she told me was this: "You're going on a trip." (I was. I had not mentioned it) "Well, be ready for some seriously intense weather when you get there." I made nothing of this comment--and didn't even take note--until I "got there," and in the middle of June, over the course of four weeks, watched in awe as, one day after the next, weather that could only be described as "seriously intense" pummeled me daily: First, freezing temperatures in the middle of summer. Then, in one day, a switch to the most wicked heat wave I have ever known, where I thought I would die if it got any hotter, followed by days of the most fierce electrical storms I've ever seen, culminating in a hail storm that lasted three days, with hail the size of golf balls, followed by a kind of hurricane, then more freezing temperatures, and rain rain rain with gale-force winds: All of this in an area known for its' clement temperatures and climate. Absolutely every prediction Maralyn made with regards to the months following our meeting came true to the letter, which has led me to change my opinion very slightly, the one I stated above. Now it goes this way: "I don't believe in astrology, but I believe in Maralyn Burstein." read more

While I had some inkling that a chart reading had the potential to be transformative, I couldn't have foreseen how deeply profound the experience would be. Upon entering Maralyn's space, I felt that I had entered the Oracle's Temple, quite literally. The ancient Greek aphorism, "Know Thyself" inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi came to mind while I sat with Maralyn during my chart reading. I left with a much deeper understanding of who I am and how to manage my life with more ease. I am someone that has a great disdain for people that are disingenuous, and I was wary of encountering someone that would feed me things I wanted to hear, but she is the antithesis of phony. She is exceptionally honest and sincere, and forthcoming about her interpretations of the chart, good or bad, There is no gratuitous ego stroking, but instead a sense that she cares very deeply about who you are and where you're going and how best to navigate that journey with the information she's gleaned from your chart. In essence, she's invested in making sure that her reading proves a valuable resource to you on your journey. One of the things that I appreciate so much about Maralyn is that she did not rush through the reading and took the time to explain in detail every aspect of the chart. Time does not concern her, and her ardent passion and devotion to her craft is palpable. In keeping with Cyntha's review, it is a gift that keeps on giving - Maralyn provides such a comprehensive study that you feel compelled to revisit the chart often to further distill and reflect upon the information she has imparted. This speaks to the caliber and beauty of her work - the chart serves as an encyclopedia, a deep well of information that you can pull from when navigating your life. I will continue to seek out Maralyn's wisdom and I will, without hesitation, recommend her to others. She's a gem. read more

Where do I begin...? Maralyn is divine. The selfless beautiful divine. I name her this because she is the best in the best sense. A modest expert who is known throughout the world for her uncanny ability to predict what's to come of you and the world we live in. I came to Maralyn for a vedic chart analysis. My research had indicated vedic astrology as the most precise and thorough study of the universe in relation to each person's birth. I won't even try to go into the differences between Western and Eastern astrology but you must know that Maralyn is a MASTER facilitator of both. In America, we have become very comfortable with a watered down version of astrology and it was until I met Maralyn that I truly understood this notion. For example, we are taught that our sun sign bares sole significance on who we are when in reality our moon and rising signs hold much more information into the depths of each soul. Maralyn is the only one of her kind on this planet. While most professional/expert astrologers focus on one astrologia to predict through, Maralyn has created her own astrological fusion science unlike any other. Her expertise in Vedic (Sidereal), Western (Tropical), British, and Greek astrology fuse for a rich story that only Maralyn can foretell. This may all sound too complicated for your taste however this blend guarantees knowledge about yourself that no one else can provide. This four way scan of the stars holds no competition as she brings light to who you are and will be. If you are planning to invest in an astrologer and want to hear TRUTH, look no further. read more

Maralyn Burstein has forever changed my life. Contrary to popular belief, and little did I know, Astrology is in fact the original scientific system and is just as logical and reliable as the physics and chemistry that we so dearly value today... This of course was not easy for my mind to except after a lifetime of thinking that your daily horoscope was everything astrology had to offer. Despite my resistance, Maralyn was able to show and prove that the events in my life, and when they happened to me, was not random! For someone who believed in the chaos theory, this was BIG news and it has changed my perspective on the world around me completely. Using her knowledge, experience, and skill, Maralyn has helped me to understand myself on a personal level in a way that a phycologist should envy. She knows five different astrologies and each has its own strengths enabling her to build a multidimensional picture of anything be it: people, corporations, or even a countries. To say that she is impressive is a gross understatement. Her ethical and moral integrity is another strength and rarity in her field that makes her such an asset. Maralyn has a heart of gold and is a true servant of humanity regardless of her personal feelings about a person or situation. She does anything and everything in her power to use her skills for the benefit of others. I trust her with my life. I've learned to take her predictions to the bank both figuratively and literally and she has never steered me wrong. Maralyn Burstein is a rare gem to be valued and appreciated. read more

I have known Maralyn for a while now and she's as good as it gets when it comes to comes to reading different charts her clients request. She did one for me on some property that I have for sale and following her reading, the information she provided is spot on and invaluable! Her creation of charts comes from years and years of study and training by some of the world's best. She offers more than just one or two different types of charts and holds nothing back once she's done her work. ****"Something "important": One thing many people don't realize: Every client is individual just as their charts are. For Maralyn to complete a chart it is imperative that a client provide complete, correct and accurate information, (including a client's birthdate plus their "exact time" of birth is a MUST for much of her work! This is how precise she is. While many may provide her with all the information on their birth certificate, what most people don't realize is until the 1970's many hospitals didn't record the "exact" times on birth certificates. Maralyn can create a Rectification Chart for a client using information a client provides to find out the "exact time" they were born. Finally, if you are looking for someone to tell you that you will be married and have children by a certain age or if you're looking for someone to tell you that you're going to become famous or have talents you don't possess, then Maralyn is not for you as she is competent and an expert in astrology. She is not one to blow sunshine up your skirt or lie to you. read more

A family member gave me a gift of a "cold horoscope reading" to be done by Maralyn Burstein. I must confess I was skeptical of this "cold" horoscope being accurate or even usable ....no longer! My previous pattern of reading monthly horoscopes in magazines had left me a disheartened non-believer as nothing was ever applicable. A "cold" reading was done via phone call to Maralyn, giving only my date of birth, place of birth and time of birth. I was careful during the initial call to not disclose any personal information other than date, place and time. I can't state emphatically enough how precisely she nailed me, thoroughly amazing! Strengths and weaknesses, personality traits, what type of work I would be good at and some possible future health issues to watch for - it was all there. Some of the things Maralyn said I had heard before, just forgotten about. I appreciated during the phone reading Maralyn explaining all of the different charts and the years of training she used to transform me from a voice with birth-data into a real person with an accurate reading. Not only was it an uplifting positive experience but also an education. I look forward to future forays with Maralyn into other aspects of planetary influences on my life. Non-believer to believer, Reni J. read more

Maralyn is a professional scam artist/ Maralyn Burstein is unlicensed Maralyn Burstein is a liar and manipulative money grubbing liar. Since I live in Yorkville, I thought it would be safe to visit a local astrologer.

I spent the intial fee then was misled by Maralyn Bursetin to pay for extra advice for financial matters. She claimed she had inside stock information from a long term friend who was a billionaire and lifelong friend.

I paid Maralyn Burstein Astrology a triple payment IN CASH and she scribbled an unsigned receipt. I am so sick over this. Not only did I lose money but also lost faith.

I met Maralyn in my BNI group a few months back, as she was highly touted by another member. I had a very lengthy and very informative session with her soon after .. just the day before New Year's Eve, 2010. I was not prepared for the depth and breadth of her astrology, drawing on several different modalities (which I won't pretend to know). But it was her questioning about my interests, past experiences and interactions with others that were the most poignant part of the session. Maralyn has a very practical perspective on 'the stars' as to how things set up the conditions for success or struggle, then presents do-able suggestions on what to follow up upon. She also has a particular interest in how astrology and face-reading can be used in the business and legal world for the timing of events (hirings, job-hunting, key decisions, jury selection, etc.) that sets her apart from many of the party-favor entertainment-based astrologers. I would recommend seeing Maralyn to the skeptical and the experienced alike. ... Mike in San Francisco read more

Never dug deep into the avenues of astrology, so I had no idea there were ancient studies still being used aside more modern astrological methods of aiding people in their life journeys... Maralyn educated me. In Maralyn's readings those studies are not only 'aside', but indeed, wrapped and entwined, allowing her to present a complex, detailed study which needs to be read or heard or studied again and again, just to uncover all of the layers of information she has imparted. Not only is her brilliant intellect so rare in today's American world of 100 word vocabularies, but so is her presence. So refreshing to have someone whose entire energy is right there with you - from the moment you meet Maralyn, until you part, Maralyn is fully engaged. Years of education by world masters, a genuine desire to aid others in their quests, and uncanny accuracy... a reading done by Maralyn, is one prepared and presented by one of the best. If you are serious, seek out Maralyn Burstein. I did, and it was worth every centime. read more

I just had Maralyn prepare a chart for me and we met at her apartment. I went into our meeting with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Maralyn is very warm and friendly. Her knowledge about different types of astrology is very impressive. Do not expect Maralyn to predict that you will meet your future husband at the Grocery store. She is not a psychic and doesn't claim to be. What Maralyn does is take the details of your birth - date, time and place, and prepares a chart that only a seasoned astrologer could understand. She gives guidance, and is sincere in her belief in what she does. She told me details about my personality and my relationships that were spot on and gave me some tools to move forward with. The thing Liked most about Marlalyn is that she is not watching a clock and trying to get more money from you. She really wants you to feel like you are getting something out of your experience with her. I will definitely be back to visit Maralyn in the future. read more

Marayln has advised me for 15 years, and I have never encountered anyone better - in fact, I have not found anyone else who even DOES what Maralyn can do. She is an absolute and uncompromising scholar of various traditions of astrology, and her decades of tireless academic pursuit have given her unique breadth and depth of knowledge in her field. Her readings are at once thorough, methodical and creative. Over the years I have been startled by Maralyn's predictive and intuitive abilities, as time and time again she reveals patterns and order in a seemingly random existence. I have utmost respect for her intelligence, artistry and commitment to sharing her hard-earned knowledge and her innate gift of vision. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Maralyn. read more

Maralyn is a gift. I started looking at my charts and wanted to meet with someone in New York who really understood astrology. After reviewing many people and looking at numerous reviews, I chose to contact Maralyn. I'm so pleased I did. There is something very special about Maralyn. She's worked hard to get to where she is, she puts so much energy into her work, and she really cares about her relationships. She is a deep thinker, and a kind soul. Maralyn helped me learn a tremendous amount about my inner life and what's possible for me during this lifetime. I love hearing what she has to say about the world today and how things flow. She is refreshing, and passionate. I'm thankful to have met her, and I can only recommend working with her. read more

There were several questions I was trying to find an answer for. I've discovered Astrology therewith. I was in need of some good Astrologer to see for myself if there are any truth in it. I found Maralyn and she did my the vedic reading. It was quite an experience. Listening to her talking about my strengths and abilities gave me some ideas on what to do next and more. She was quite right about my mother, that made me talk to her about the things we didn't talk before rather than having our usual short conversation. I was delighted to meet someone as intuitive and spiritual as Maralyn is. And I am getting into Astrology field taking one step at a time. It will be a long journey. read more

Maralyn is a brilliant astrologer! I have had my chart done before, but never with such detail and depth. It is amazing how she can look at my chart and tell me things about myself and my parents that I would never have thought she could possibly know. I am also amazed by her ability to "read" people just by looking at their face. She met my boyfriend and started telling us qualities about him and his personality that were so accurate. She is truly amazing! I can't say enough about how brilliant and highly trained she is. I recommend her to anyone who wants to see how using astrology can help accentuate the positives and downplay the negatives in their life! read more

My fiancé and I went in for a cold reading and boy was she good. I've had several astrologers spend many days reading my chart and she was able to capture everything they had said in the short time we were there. Her background in studying astrology seems unparalleled and her unique experiences, knowledge of several types of astrology including Vedic and traditional British astrology allows her to compare and contrast aspects of a persons chart which manifest in a profoundly accurate reading. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I had Maralyn prepare a chart for me. I'd had a difficult past year and was quite shocked at what Maralyn created from a few dates and my name. She spoke of images that were related to my deceased father's family back in New England that I don't share with people. She was very relaxed which helped me to relax and take in all the knowledge she was passing my way. It helped me let go and move forward with my life in a more positive direction. Thanks Maralyn! read more

I was very impressed with her readings. She was not only able to do readings by providing information, but also by helping me analyze and conclude my weakness and strengths. In instances where I could not understand, Ms. Burstein helped me interpret thought different examples. The fact that she is a scholar is apparent as her art is of many dimensions, such as from the East and West. Ms. Burstein was able to give me a good dose of insight and guidance to me. read more

Yesterday I met with Maralyn for the first time. The amount of time, the depth in which she researched my chart and the attention to detail was beyond spectacular. She pointed the "why" of many things in my past and present. Her gift to me was showing me a way to work with what is in my chart and to not to let it work me. She was able to explain the unexplainable that has occurred in my life for many years. Her knowledge is astounding. I will be back for more. read more
