Study
Starts September 17 — enrollment open!Jyotish, Vedic astrology, is a way to see life’s events in the widest possible context, reaching beyond the present life, and the causes of things that at first seem inexplicable. It is a powerful tool for getting to know yourself, guiding your destiny and planning any events with regard to the dynamics of celestial energies.
Jyotish is a unique way of seeing the world around us which, like any skill, is acquired through study.
The original Karuna Jyotish course is two two-hour online sessions a week in small groups, with maximum immersion in Jyotish topics:
• live discussion and practice on real charts;
• homework with feedback;
• a study chat for current questions and discussion;
• access to the course materials remains available for 12 months after it ends;
• a subscription to the calculations page is included for the duration of the course*.

Student reviews
What was especially valuable was that we worked through almost every topic on our own birth charts. These weren’t just lessons — they were a genuine journey toward understanding myself.
I was fortunate to be in the very first group, the one that practically talked Kirill into continuing to teach after Vladislav Polishchuk’s school. And now I understand just how valuable that decision was. I have never encountered such depth of knowledge, or such a gift for explaining complex things in simple, clear language, anywhere else.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Kirill, I probably would have given up studying astrology right at the start. After the first classes, the philosophical part felt too far removed from practice. But Kirill was the one who showed how everything is interconnected: the planets, a person’s chart, events, the inner world, and the laws of the universe. Thanks to that, astrology became something alive, logical, and incredibly deep for me.
What was especially valuable was that we worked through almost every topic on our own birth charts. These weren’t just lessons — they were a genuine journey toward understanding myself. Working through my own chart let me see the roots of many of my fears and limitations. But most importantly, Kirill helped me understand that a chart is not a sentence. It shows the challenges a person is capable of overcoming, if they’re willing to grow.
I probably would never have dared to take one of the most important steps of my life — buying a pharmacy and starting a completely new chapter — without that support.
One of Kirill’s principles has stayed with me forever: move forward, don’t be afraid to act, allow yourself to make mistakes, and treat mistakes as part of the path and as invaluable experience. That thought changed how I relate not just to astrology, but to life itself.
Thank you, Kirill, for the knowledge, the wisdom, the support, and the faith in your students. Teachers like you are very rare. I am endlessly grateful to fate for the chance to learn from you. ❤️💐 with respect and love, Maya Lapinska
We studied the fundamentals of astrology through the lens of spiritual development…
I’m grateful to him for awakening in me a deep interest not only in astrology, but in the Vedic scriptures as well.
Kirill has an enormous depth of knowledge and a gift for explaining complex things in an accessible, structured, and incredibly engaging way. We studied the fundamentals of astrology through the lens of spiritual development, which let me not only master the basic tools, but also see myself, my purpose, and the world around me in a completely new light.
This isn’t just a course — it’s a journey to yourself, to your soul.
I sincerely recommend studying with Kirill to anyone seeking awareness and wanting to understand themselves and this world through Vedic astrology.🙏🤗
