Foundational Course in Vedic Astrology (Jyotish)
the astrology of timing, cycles & deeper patterns In your life.
A 12-week live foundational course in Jyotish - the Vedic system of Astrology - taught by Georgia Vavasour and Geoff Rupp. For people who have always felt the pull of the planets and are finally ready to understand what they are working with.
Most people encounter astrology through personality. Your sun sign. Your rising. Your Venus placement.
Jyotish goes further.
It is a system of timing — mapping how different phases of life unfold under different planetary influences, each with their own qualities, challenges, and opportunities.
This is why certain years feel expansive and almost effortless. And why others feel like you are pushing against something you cannot quite name.
When you understand the structure of your own timing, you stop fighting the current and start working with it.
This course is where that understanding begins.
Why We Created This:
So many people in my community have been fascinated by their readings & asking me where to learn more about Jyotish.
And until now, I have not had a good answer.
Books present the system as a rigid set of predictions. Online resources and apps strip out everything that makes the knowledge alive — and often leave people more confused or more afraid than before. Jyotish was never designed to be consumed through a screen. It is meant to come through someone who has genuinely enlivened a relationship with it.
So Geoff Rupp and I built the course we always wished existed.
Grounded. Structured. Deep enough to matter. Accessible enough to actually start.
What you’ll learn:
– The Planets — what each one represents, how they are expressing in your chart, and how to elevate & align with their higher qualities
– The Signs and Houses — how different areas of life are shaped, from career and health to relationships and dharma
– The Timing of Life (Dashas) — the Vedic system of planetary periods. Learning to track your own timing is one of the most practically useful things this course will give you
Where this Course goes FURTHER:
Most introductions stop at the basics. This one doesn’t.
Nakshatras
Introduction to the lunar constellations unique to Jyotish — the 27 lunar constellations unique to Jyotish. Rarely included at introductory level. They reveal a depth and precision that the system is known for.
Planetary remedies
An introduction to the jyotish remedies - Japa, yagya, gemstones and lifestyle practices to work with and balance planetary influences.
Experiential Component - Planet Journey (Bonus)
Alongside the course, you will receive a guided pranayama and kriya experience to help you attune to the planets directly - not just understand them intellectually.
Jyotish is a living knowledge. This practice helps you begin to feel it.
It is something you can return to over and over as your knowledge deepens.

a more dynamic, engaging space
(Yes — with two Gemini risings it’s definitely going to be lively!)
Every session is recorded. You are welcome to join live when you can and catch up on recordings when you cannot. If you cannot start May 1 — that is fine. Jump in when you are ready.
You do not need to attend every session for this to work. The structure is designed to support however you need to engage with it.
Important:
This is not a certification or professional training. You do not need any prior knowledge of astrology to join, and you do not need to be aiming to give readings. Most people joining this course are simply curious — and ready to understand the system in a clear, grounded way.
This is the only time Geoff and I are teaching this live in this format. If it has been on your mind, this is the moment to step in.
