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.
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.

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
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
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
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
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.
