What if you finally understood your own timing?

Foundational Course in Vedic Astrology (Jyotish)

With Geoff Rupp and Georgia Vavasour

Most people sense there is a pattern to their life. Periods that feel open and expansive. Others that feel stuck, slow, resistant — no matter how hard you push.

Vedic Astrology — Jyotish — maps those patterns with extraordinary precision. Not in vague personality archetypes. In actual planetary cycles, timing systems, and cosmic rhythms that have been tracked and refined for over 5,000 years.

This is the astrology that tells you when.

And once you understand it, you stop feeling like things are just happening to you.

“So much insight into my own timing and direction. I finally feel like I understand what I have been moving through.”

— Julie Stansfield

“Clarity, warmth and genuine care. This is the real thing.”

— Jaz Louisa

“Precise, beautifully structured, and genuinely life-changing.”

— Trey Williams

Why We Created This

I have been using Vedic Astrology for over a decade. Not to make predictions. As a map — for understanding timing, direction, and what is actually happening in my life when things shift.

For years, people have asked me where to learn it properly. I never had a clean answer.

Books are rigid and often fear-based. Apps strip a 5,000-year-old living system down to personality blurbs. Most courses teach you the symbols without teaching you the system.

Georgia Vavasour is one of the most grounded and precise Jyotishis I know. When we realised we both felt the same gap, the answer was obvious.

We built the course we always wished existed.

— Geoff Rupp

Is This Course For You?

This course is for you if:

✓ You have had a Vedic Astrology reading and want to understand your own chart — not just receive it.

✓ You sense there is a pattern to the timing of your life and you want to understand it.

✓ You have tried Western astrology and felt it did not go deep enough.

✓ You are curious about Jyotish and want to learn it properly, not just dip in.

✓ You want a practice that connects you to a living system — not just a personality profile.

This course is not for you if:

✗ You are looking for a quick overview or a prediction-based reading.

✗ You want a professional certification or practitioner training.

✗ You are not ready to give 12 weeks of consistent engagement to the material.

No prior astrological knowledge required. This is a genuine foundation — built for people who are ready to take the system seriously.

What You Will Learn

12 live sessions. 90 minutes each. All recorded. This is what we cover — and why each layer matters.

Module 1 — The Planets

The planets are the core of the system. We cover all nine — the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. You will learn what each planet represents, how it expresses in your chart, and how to begin working with its energy consciously rather than being driven by it unconsciously.

Module 2 — The Signs and Houses

The signs and houses shape how the planets operate in your specific life. This is where the system becomes personal — revealing how different areas of your life (career, relationships, health, dharma, purpose) are structured and what they are asking of you.

Module 3 — Dashas — The Timing of Life

This is the layer most introductory courses never reach — and the one that changes everything. The Vedic system maps life in planetary periods called dashas. Each period has its own distinct quality, its own lessons, its own specific openings. When you understand your current dasha, you stop wondering why a particular year feels the way it does. You stop pushing against the current. You start moving with it.

Module 4 — The Nakshatras

The 27 lunar mansions are unique to the Vedic system. Rarely included at foundational level. They add a depth and precision to chart reading that Western astrology simply does not have — nuancing the planets and signs in ways that make your chart feel genuinely alive and specific to you.

Module 5 — Transits

Planetary transits show how the current movement of planets activates your natal chart in real time. This is where Jyotish becomes a living practice — something you can use every week, not just in annual readings. You will learn to track planetary movement and understand what it means for your own timing.

Module 6 — Remedies

Jyotish has always included practical remedies for working with planetary influences — japa (mantra repetition), gemstones, yagya, and supportive practices. This is an area Western astrology barely touches. We teach remedies as a grounded, practical tool for aligning with your chart rather than fighting it.

EXCLUSIVE BONUS

The Planet Journey

Geoff Rupp teaching a meditation class

Jyotish is not just an intellectual system. The planets are living forces — and the deepest learning happens when you attune to them, not just study them.

As part of this course, I have created a guided pranayama and kriya practice for each planet. The Planet Journey takes you through an experiential encounter with each of the nine planetary forces — in your body, not just your mind.

This is unique to this course. You will not find this approach anywhere else.

There is a difference between knowing the map and actually walking the terrain. The Planet Journey is how you walk it.

Created and guided by Geoff Rupp — Vedic Meditation teacher, Himalayan Breathwork facilitator, and Vedic Astrologer.

Meet Your Teachers

Geoff Rupp - Vedic Meditation and Jyotish Teacher

Geoff Rupp

Geoff Rupp is a Master Teacher of Vedic Meditation, Himalayan Breathwork facilitator, and Vedic Astrologer based in Sydney, Australia. With over a decade of immersive study and practice in Jyotish, he trained directly with Anand Mehrotra at the Sattva Yoga Academy in the Himalayas, one of the most rigorous lineages of Vedic wisdom available today.

Before dedicating himself to teaching full-time, Geoff spent 30 years working at senior levels in television across Hong Kong, Malaysia, London, and Australia. A cancer diagnosis in 2011 changed everything. It set him on a sustained path of inquiry into Vedic science: meditation, breathwork, and ultimately Jyotish. Not as a spiritual detour, but as a complete reorientation of how he understood life, timing, and purpose.

That combination of lived experience and formal Vedic training shapes everything about how Geoff works. He brings Jyotish off the page and into real life, using it as a precision tool for understanding cycles, navigating transitions, and making decisions that are aligned rather than reactive.

His approach is direct, unsentimental, and deeply practical.

 
Georgia Vavasour - Vedic Astrologer and Meditation Teacher

Georgia Vavasour

Georgia Vavasour is a Master Teacher of Vedic Meditation, Himalayan Breathwork and a Vedic Astrologer based between Byron Bay, Australia and New Zealand. Over ten years of full-time teaching she has personally initiated more than 1,500 students into Vedic Meditation — one of the largest in-person teaching records of any teacher in the Southern Hemisphere.

Jyotish has been woven into her mentoring practice for years, and is the lens through which she helps students understand the timing and deeper purpose of what they are moving through.

Georgia also hosts Unbound — a podcast exploring consciousness, relationships, purpose, and the deeper mechanics of a well-lived life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Jyotish and how is it different from Western astrology?
Jyotish — Vedic Astrology — is one of the six Vedangas, the limbs of the Vedas. It is a sidereal system, meaning it tracks the actual positions of planets against the fixed stars rather than the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology. The result is a more precise and time-sensitive map. Where Western astrology tends toward psychological archetypes, Jyotish is fundamentally a system of timing — it tells you not just who you are, but when things are likely to move, open, or close in your life.
Do I need any prior knowledge to take this course?
No prior knowledge is required. This course is built from the ground up — the real foundations, taught in sequence. We assume nothing. By the end, you will have a working understanding of your own chart and the tools to continue reading it independently.
What is the dasha system in Vedic Astrology?
The dasha system is a sequence of planetary periods that maps the unfolding of your life over time. Each planet rules a period of years, and within that, sub-periods. When you know your current dasha, you understand the quality of the time you are in — what it is asking of you, what it is opening, and what it is closing. This is the layer of Jyotish that most introductory courses never reach. We cover it in full.
What are nakshatras?
The nakshatras are the 27 lunar mansions — a division of the zodiac unique to the Vedic system. They add a layer of precision and nuance to chart reading that Western astrology simply does not have. Each nakshatra has its own quality, mythology, and expression. When you understand the nakshatra of your Moon, your Ascendant, or a key planet, your chart comes alive in a way that generic sign-based readings cannot match.
Are the sessions recorded if I can not attend live?
Yes. Every session is recorded and added to the course portal. You will have access to all recordings and can watch them at any time. You will not miss anything by not attending live — though the live sessions are where the real energy of the group comes through.
How long is the course and how many sessions are there?
The course runs for 12 weeks, from May 1 through July 15, 2026. There are 12 live sessions, each 90 minutes long, held weekly. The first session is on the full moon, May 1 — at 10am AEST / 12 noon NZT. Subsequent sessions are on Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm AEST / 7:30pm NZT.
Who is this course for?
This course is for anyone who wants to understand Vedic Astrology properly — not just receive readings, but learn the system itself. It is ideal for people who have had a Jyotish reading and want to go deeper, those who have studied Western astrology and want something more precise, and anyone who senses there is a pattern to their life and wants the tools to read it. No prior knowledge is required.
What is the Planet Journey bonus?
The Planet Journey is a set of nine guided pranayama and kriya practices — one for each of the nine planets in Jyotish. Created and guided by Geoff Rupp, these practices take you through an experiential encounter with each planetary force — in your body, not just your mind. This is unique to this course and is not available anywhere else.
Is this a professional certification?
No. This is a foundational course — designed to give you a genuine, working understanding of Jyotish for personal use. It is not a practitioner training or a professional certification programme. If you want to read charts for others at a professional level, this course will give you the strongest possible foundation to build from.
