readings

My work with astrology began in 2015, when I worked for a farmer who taught me about planting seeds with the moon. The life force in seeds, the tides, our bodies, are all connected like voices in a larger conversation. In the words of Brian Doyle, "No living being is without interior liquid motion. We all churn inside.” I love to think of the seasons and cycles of each planet as additional characters in this archetypal churning. And I am continually amazed at the accuracy that these distant bodies, observed and mythologized for thousands of years by our ancestors, can make such clear meaning out of the relational sauce and paradoxes of this human experience. I see my role as a practitioner to translate how the larger stories might be weaving through your direct experience, the gifts and challenges you carry in your birth chart, and how to navigate all of this with greater ease and lightness. 

I use  astrology, numerology, Human Design, and the Tarot as tools within a praxis of liberation, to move us toward a more compassionate and gentle world. My 1:1 client practice feel deeply connected to my work in community food systems and ecological thinking, in which homogeneity spells death, and diversity spells resilience. To claim what brings us joy and the gifts that flow naturally to us, to dissolve the isolating myths of the enclosed self, and to affirm your own internal story, is a radical step within a culture that invests so heavily in sameness and separation. 

Readings usually work with the birth chart as a foundation for affirming everything you’ve been through and everything you have to offer, and bring in Human Design and numerology for strategy and action, and the Tarot for questions and intuitive checks on particular situations.

I have completed studies in Sociology and Psychology, courses in medical astrology and astroherbalism, and over 1,000 reading hours for private clients and events over the past seven years. For event inquiries you can reach me at mayanetzer.art@gmail.com, or book a session below. I look forward to connecting with you!

client words

  • “I had my second reading with Maya recently and I am once again blown away by the grace and beautiful articulation she brings in our sessions. My first reading was a birthday reading and I am still shocked at how accurately she predicted my energies for the following year. Whether it was relationship oriented or communication/internally oriented, Maya put me at ease for the coming months and articulated my spiritual journey in such a comforting way. I did another session after going through a small struggle in life and she was extremely validating and reassuring  in explaining my situation. Her metaphors and way of walking me through what is happening in my chart is effortless and calming. Forever grateful for all the wisdom she’s shared with me! Highly recommend Maya for connecting deeper with yourself, truly a special experience.” - ZR

  • “Hi Maya, I’ve been meaning to write to you for awhile and let you know that the reading you shared with me on my bday was really meaningful and served like a key or the actual glue that brought together a lot of experiences in the weeks following our reading, with sparkling clarity and humbling heart opening wonder and gratitude. I have a memory of you saying during the reading “I am not being articulate” after a long farm day and I want you to know that articulate or not, you were tuned in and on point and made a real difference in my life and helped open up something for me that…Like, no words! thank you, for all the time spent with me and also all of the everything that went into showing up for me in that kind of way. I figured you probably had no idea it had this impact and wanted you to know that it did!” - NF

  • “Maya’s ability to connect one’s astrological chart to daily existence is truly a spiritual gift. She has guided our family through our unspoken connections for many years, giving insight into my husband and I’s relationship, our personal journies through time, and now each of our daughter’s own unique paths. Her knowledge is matched by her clear passion and intuitiveness regarding the art of astrology. She has the ability to piece together details that move fluidly all around each of her clients, and pull them into a succinct and clear guiding map. We are so thankful for her insight. Those that work with her are blessed to experience the pureness of her presence.” -MM

  • “Maya! Where do I even begin. You are such a light in our lives. I don’t really know how to put it into words but somehow you walk this line of making everything fun and exciting and somehow instantly calming. Whenever I’m at a crossroads I know a reading with you will give me all the information I need and more, and I listen back to our recordings whenever I need reminding.” - KM

  • “Crossing paths with Maya has been such an honor and rare opportunity. She manages so effortlessly stand out in the very crowded space of astrology, tarot reading, and the universe. Every session and encounter feels so personalized and thoughtful. It not only speaks to her work ethic, but her extraordinary character. I’ve had the ability to see Maya work with groups and individuals. Nothing limits her reach. One of the things that draws me most to her methods is her ability to articulate complex information in a digestible, understandable way. She’s very special and recommend her to everyone.” - AS

  • “You have, in your astrology work with me, also allowed me to REST at the core of who I am and embrace that I can cover a lot of ground in my person. That is such a gift you’ve given me. I used to hate feeling “surfacey” and now I feel transient and free to flit about in all my places I don’t fit like a square peg, but can lightly fill for a minute.” - MM

  • “Sometimes, someone walks into your life at the exact moment that you need them. I met Maya serendipitously at the farmers market in Greenpoint, and I immediately felt an inexplicable kinship.  A few weeks later, I sat in her living room for an astrology reading and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. I have always loved astrology but in a very casual way. Maya broke down my birth chart with so much gentle prowess. She allowed me to move past the archetype of my sign and into a much deeper meaning of self. What does it look like to embrace my idiosyncrasies? To move in unison with my chart rather than force myself into a form of what I think a person should be? Maya, with her compassionate wisdom, has fostered an introspection of love and ambition. I have no doubt this reading will alter the course of my everyday life and therefore my larger trajectory as well. Thank you, Maya! Sending you love.” - HWK

  • “Thank you so much for our reading last night. It was so magical and really solidified some feelings and thoughts I had about J and me. It was such a gift to hear your reading and your intuition and thoughts. I'm so happy to know you. I cannot say thank you enough.” - AF

  • “Maya’s readings are deeply meaningful. Her understanding of the signs and the ways in which they relate to one another blows me away. Somehow she always knows what to say in response to a life event, and I find her presence so calming and supportive. She is wise and so generous with her knowledge, I feel blessed to know her.” - CF

  • “Dear Maya, our conversation has already remodeled so much of my world in the most freeing ways - I am so grateful to you! You radiate beauty and kindness and always have.

    I am seeing Mars in Cancer all over my life, this protective action. I see where it is serving me and where boldness would feel good! what you said about letting an experience pass over us like a phantom hand through an instrument has reshaped how I see that situation I felt confused in and it makes the future feel more free.

    thank you for shining your light and sharing your gifts, I am so inspired by you!” - BH

  • “Maya is as bright as the stars she’s reading. When her eyes meet yours you know she’s reading more than your facial expressions, she’s reading who you are, where you’ve been, and where you could be going. Her depth and knowledge of astronomy and astrology is evident the minute she opens her mouth. She’ll give you as much as you give her. You can be as open and honest with her as you would be with yourself. This was more than a reading, it was a journey through life, love, and acceptance. Totally and completely enlightening.” - AP

  • “My reading with Maya was incredible powerful and left me feeling empowered and energized about my future. She speaks with an intuition that made me feel comfortable and confident in my ability to overcome. At a time when I had several big decisions to make and was going through a major transition period, her insight was invaluable. Maya is a gift from the stars and I am so lucky to have found her.” - AZ

  • “Maya marries the skills of both an astrologer and a poet. As someone who knows a decent amount of astrology herself, I am always refreshed with Maya’s unique perspective and loving care with my placements and more deeply, understanding my energy and its unique expression. She handles her readings with love and sensitivity, clear seeing and scientific precision. Her words are hers alone and they flow through her with resonance. She consistently waters her practice, bringing new information and aspects to the table that open new portals of depth for me over and over again. I am so grateful to connect with her guidance and receive her natural flow with the stars. Thank you Maya!” - TF
