Maralyn’s Reviews on Yelp
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

Maralyn is no ordinary soothsayer: her readings are highly researched, in depth, and very detailed. She told me things about myself that no other human being knows. She did this to establish her credibility, and I have to say that she is one of the most credible individuals I have encountered in the field. Why do we go to astrologers? To gain clarity and to see things in our future. On both these counts Maralyn comes through, and the message is delivered empathically and in constructive ways. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Take a chance, invest in your future, invest in your present. You will not be disappointed. I took the extra step of digitally recording our session, and layers of meaning continue to reveal themselves each time I listen…Super!

Uncanny. Truly wowed by her insights, particularly those ‘impossibly’ gathered in her totally ‘cold reading’. Accuracy is proof, and my experience with her is paradigm-changing.

[Maralyn] is a fountain of astrological insight and knowledge garnered from her many years of study from a variety of several different cultural traditions and teachings .A wonderful lady with wit and wisdom to boot and she was a great help to me in describing my astro profile.

Maralyn is a visionary, a poet, a diva, a comedienne, a listener, a scholar. She is fearless of thought and appropriately reckless with convention and constraint when it comes to her practice of astrology. Maralyn’s work is hers uniquely; it can be no one else’s. With equal rigor and devotion, she has studied Vedic, Western, Horary and Hellenistic astrologies. Any single one of these traditions pursued with the depth and scope of her efforts would be remarkable, but perhaps more remarkable is the fact that she is largely self-taught. She certainly wrote her own curriculum.
Beyond the distinct disciplines that she knows precisely, she possesses the creative mind of an artist, of an alchemist, casting a prism of various astrologies greater than the sum of the parts. Maralyn’s insights are as striking and profound as they are amusing or even practical. All of the reflections are invaluable. She has given me key insights on life direction, talents, relationships, real estate and financial matters. But also she sees the mundane, lost things of life – a ring, a book, any item dropped or misplaced; she has a knack.
Maralyn is like no one else I have met in life. Every interaction of ours is a fascinating read into Maralyn’s wide-eyed lens on the world and ourselves in it. She carries the treasure of sight, and the artful tongue to tell it. She has become a singular person in my life, a great friend, and I am grateful she shares her gift with others and with me.

Passionate, Articulate, Foreseeing, Intuitive, All-Knowing-these are all great words to describe Maralyn Burstein. Maralyn is equally apt at looking into events that have already happened and will offer rare insight, or she can look forward in your life and help you understand things that are to come. She is not just soothsayer, as she can suggest ways to reposition the future to balance any deficits that are headed your way. Maralyn also handles the tender subject of one’s past and one’s future with great empathy, having been someone who has triumphed over her own fair share of obstacles in her life. I trust her work and her point of view more than anyone else.

Maralyn is a wonderful astrologer. Her depth of knowledge is seemingly unbeatable, and she helped me transform my life. I went in not knowing what to expect because I only read about astrology on my own, and I was amazed at how well she was able to read the charts and tell me many details. If you are looking for someone to sugarcoat your chart, look elsewhere. As someone who appreciates directness, I liked Maralyn’s “tell-it-like-it-is” style. I appreciate the knowledge she shared with me immensely.
She is also a great conversationalist and storyteller — truly a fascinating person — aside from her astrological skill.
If you are looking for direction in your life, no matter what your issue is or how “big” or “small” it is, I highly suggest you book a reading with Maralyn. I am always grateful for the help she provided.

I originally discovered Maralyn through the magic of Social Media and discovered that she is incredibly tuned in to the universe. She possess the skill set necessary to be a trained astrologer and she is a decent person. I trust her. And you will find her patient and trustworthy of your time.
Trust is the most important thing that a person can possess and I trust Maralyn. She is not a fly by night astrologer, nor is does she dispense mere panacea that wears off before you exit the door.
To gain enlightenment you should engage Maralyn and open your mind and your heart to her talents.
She is well versed in the charts and utilizes timings in accordance with the universe.
Maralyn is talented, genuine and she speaks with a smile.
People like Maralyn are rare gems. She is filled with generosity and healing.
What she helped me with, although highly personal in nature, unlocked many questions that I needed answering. It was as if a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders after my deeply personalized consultations.
I am very lucky for the opportunity to have spent time in her company. What are you waiting for? Call her. Engage her. Let Maralyn help you. Open your mind and let her take you through her methodologies.

Unbelievably accurate & in depth! I’ve never had my chart done before & I still don’t understand how the whole thing works, but if you are interested in doing it, Maralyn is the person to go to. The price is also reasonable for NYC.

Maralyn is a very good astrologer. She will not tell you anything you want to hear which is what I like most about her. I would say 99.9% of what she said was accurate. She really knows her stuff. She is very enthusiastic about her work. She gave very helpful advice based on personality and situations which have happened in the past. Please visit her if you feel like you need some kind of guidance or direction. At least for me, I have felt some hope for the future after visiting her.

Maralyn really knows her stuff. She spent a lot of time explaining two charts, including my own, in great detail. Everything she said was very insightful and accurate. She was also very accommodating with my payment method. If you’re looking for someone who has real, extensive knowledge in astrology, Maralyn is your go-to.

I saw Maralyn about a month ago and had a very positive experience. She is a lovely person who is very knowledgeable in her field and deeply passionate about her work. I went into her apartment feeling low and somewhat lost about what to do with my life. I left her apartment feeling full of confidence and excited about life again! She was able to tell me about my personality in more detail, what my strengths and weaknesses are, and gave me some profound advice to help point me in the right direction. She was able to see from my chart several things that had happened in recent months, including the period of time I was struggling and facing some serious challenges. She was able to pinpoint the exact month when things began to fall apart. Not everything she had to say was sunshine and roses. She tells it how she sees it. The charts are very precise. She was able to see my father’s failing health, future family issues, my upcoming move, and things to be wary of. She also gave me great insight into what I should be focusing on in my life and helped me realize that I have to let go of certain things that are out of my control. I felt like what she read in my chart about my past and about my personality was accurate and she told me some things to look forward to in my future. I am so happy I was able to meet with Maralyn. She was generous with her time and I felt like she sincerely wanted to help me. She opened my eyes to the possibilities spread out before me and made me recognize that I have the potential to achieve great things if I tap into my creativity and use my chart to work in my favor. If I wasn’t moving out of state I would make visiting her a regular part of my life!

From a review posted to Yelp by Lauren A. on 23 Feb 2011 —
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 [accept] 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.
…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.
