Based in Atlanta, Maxine Taylor is a true visionary with over fifty years of experience in spiritual work.
She is an internationally known astrologer, energy healer, spiritual coach, teacher, speaker and published author.
One of Maxine’s greatest gifts is the ability to awaken people to the truth of who they are and empower them to transform their lives.
Her mission in life is sharing her spiritual truth and wisdom with others to assist them in leading more successful, fulfilling lives.
In 1966, Maxine moved to Atlanta, where she had a “chance” meeting with a student of astrology.
The student told Maxine all about herself (Maxine) based solely on her astrological sign. This intrigued Maxine and prompted her to learn more.
Unknowingly, astrology became the introduction to what would become her life’s work.
Shortly thereafter, Maxine joined a group led by an Episcopal priest that met weekly to explore spiritual and psychic areas.
The members of this group became the founders of the Atlanta Institute of Metaphysics, where she would later teach astrology for several years.
In 1969, Maxine decided to pursue astrology as a career, but it was considered fortune telling in Georgia.
“Since astrology is not fortune telling,” she notes, “I wanted to distinguish it legally and give it dignity. So I met with the Cobb County Commissioners, who granted me the first license to practice astrology in the State of Georgia.”
As a result of her pursuit to legalize astrology, Maxine became America’s first licensed astrologer.
Subsequently, Maxine had a bill introduced into the Georgia General Assembly to legalize astrology in the City of Atlanta.
In 1970, the bill was passed and signed into law by then-Governor Lester Maddox.
This historic event made Atlanta the first city in the country to license the practice of astrology.
Maxine continued to make history by spearheading the establishment of the Atlanta Board of Astrology Examiners and, in 1977, opened the first astrology office in the upscale Buckhead business community of Atlanta.
She was one of the founders of the Atlanta Astrological Society and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the American Federation of Astrologers.
Maxine appeared regularly on CNN as its on-air astrologer for the first two years after the cable news network’s inaugural debut.
She interviewed with the famous Larry King on The Larry King Show and was featured as a guest on all the major networks.
Due to Maxine’s international recognition, the nation of Hungary contacted her shortly after the fall of its communist regime in 1989 and asked her to do a forecast for the country.
This extraordinary reading was broadcast live over Hungary’s only radio station in Budapest and then published in the country’s leading newspaper.
Maxine brought astrology not only into the mainstream but into the limelight.
She published several books, produced workshops for large, national retail chains and appeared in all forms of media.
Not only was she pretty, popular, funny, and direct, but her predictions were amazingly accurate.
One of these predictions, published in The Wall Street Journal, detailed a successful comeback for Chrysler.
