What clients are saying about their readings
I’ve had a lot of readings in my life and I too have studied astrology, but Gary's particular insight brought a much needed sense of relief and fresh perspective. Gary offered real actionable things I can do to move forward. Honestly, I feel like I dropped a ten pound rock, metaphorically and truly physically; I feel lighter!

I found my reading with Gary to be deeply insightful. Gary gave a very detailed and lengthy reading which really illuminated unknown areas of my life and personality. I found the reading so beneficial that I continually advise friends and family to visit Gary if they need sensible and reliable guidance in their life at the moment.

Getting my chart done (a Christmas gift from my sister) was the beginning of a restorative process for me. I had experienced a somewhat difficult few years and during this time had participated in many healing modalities which I found very helpful; however my reading with Gary has by far been the most healing. His understanding of astrology, plus his keen intuition allowed me to gain insight into the challenges I was experiencing. This deeper understanding gave me the confidence to re-ignite my commitment to myself. In just one reading, my perspective was blown open and so much was explained. I was left with a deep sense of relief, peace and acceptance with the realisation that there was still so much to look forward to. Thank you Gary.

I found Gary a few months ago for an in-depth birth chart reading. Since then, two of my sisters have also been to him for a reading. Prior to this, I had an interest in Vedic astrology, but I found it to be a mystifying world, and I wasn't sure where to start. Most online resources seemed to only further my confusion. Enter Gary! He is incredibly knowledgeable, generous, and he really makes Sidereal astrology accessible. Since my reading I have cultivated a solid interest in astrology, and continue to learn by becoming a patron on Gary's site, where he is regularly uploading excellent, clear content. I'm learning every day. Thanks Gary!

I had my first Vedic Astrology reading recently and I found it really helpful aswell as fascinating. I learn about my Vedic sign and it’s gave me insight into my career path and my personal relationships. I would recommend asking specific questions instead of general questions. The reading was accurate and really describe me goals and unique personality traits.

I found your approach very interesting and much more informative that a written report. It allowed me to explore the content of your reading in a way that was more flexible and informative and easier to delve into issues as they arose.

Gary first read my chart 4 years ago and since then I have a reading with him every year around my birthday. The readings are amazing and really put things in perspective. Each year I realise more and more, and the readings always help me trust my mind and psyche. I don't know a lot about astrology, but I do know what’s relevant to me and what I need to pay attention to. Gary's readings always help me trust my intuition and see my seemingly small concerns in a wider cosmic framework. Gary is deeply embodied, his readings creative and intuitive, but most importantly, profoundly practical!

Gary's patience, lightness and non-judgmental approach provided an open and relaxed setting for the reading. The language he used was so clarifying, insightful and helpful. I found my reading to be reflective especially around my personality and intimate relationship. His passion and knowledge of Vedic Astrology is inspiring and I feel more at peace knowing more about who I really am and how the planets truly influence my life. Thank you Gary.

While I sought out a reading mostly out of curiosity, I was stunned by the accuracy of the reading, profoundly moved by what I learned about myself and my family, and compelled by the chart's usefulness as a map, if you will, of where I have been and where I may be going.

I found Gary's reading helpful in clarifying the areas that I need to focus on in my life going forward. It also confirmed for me certain intuitions that I felt in myself but needed a second opinion on. Having a recording was an added bonus!

I was delighted with my reading. Gary explained a lot about past experiences and situations. He also gave me accurate advice and support about how to handle where I was at the time and the energies which were affecting me. Gary was very insightful and has a gift in filling in the blanks where you may be lost on why things are going a certain way.

Gary's depth of knowledge is unreal. His education in Ayurveda also contributes greatly to his understanding. I think Gary has three major gifts to brings to his readings, that are not often combined. The first is his intellectual ability and passion for knowledge; the second is the deep compassion and empathy that Gary carries through his work and the third is complete professionalism, in confidentiality and all other aspects. I completely recommend him for anyone wanting to delve deeper into astrology.

Gary's readings are clear and well stated. He is very clear on planetary energies and their impact through living a Vedic lifestyle - not just from a theoretically achieved knowledge.

I found the Vedic Astrology reading fascinating. It highlighted some of the natural tendencies I have come to know in myself so well. It helped me to accept these traits and habits as my blessings in life and to be aware of the person I really am. It also made me aware of the different periods of change we all go through in our lives, how the planets influence these periods and everything in our day to day life during these times. I now look forward to these planetary changes and wonder how they may influence my life.

I have always been interested in astrology but never had a consultation with a Vedic astrologer before. The best part about readings with Gary, I found, was practical recommendations on how to improve certain areas of my personal and professional life. The Vedic astrologer is looking at you from inside of your personality, correcting your lenses through which you are looking at the outside world. You might be surprised to find out that you are a completely different zodiac sign from what you have become used to. Be prepared, this reading might become a turning point. Gary will tell you all about it!

Gary's consultation opened my eyes to an incredible new world and a fascinating field. It broadened my perspective on life and enabled me to look at a bigger picture. I was surprised how accurate my reading was regarding my past and present. Gary helped me name the things that have been happening in my life and that I could not fully understand until that moment. It all became much clearer. I gained more hope and strength after the reading.
So, thank you very much Gary.

What students are saying about courses
I was privileged to take part in a 9-week course with Gary O'Toole in yoga, Ayurveda and astrology. It was fascinating how he could weave all three subjects together with such ease and fluidity. As a novice in the Vedic astrology field, I found it fascinating, and Gary always left space for queries and questioning. There is so much to learn in all three areas, and they work together brilliantly. What I came away with is a deeper understanding of myself, my doshas, habits, moods and patterns and how, with the use of yoga, astrology and Ayurveda, I could make healthier choices and, if not, be more understanding and compassionate to myself and others on this journey. It was a fascinating course, and I hope he will run more like it. I will be the first to sign up!! Thank you, Gary, for your generosity, knowledge and sense of humour. I loved it!
- Vivian Fogarty, Yoga Teacher
Gary’s teaching is always balanced, fun and deeply authentic. I have had the chance to attend in-person classes with him in the past, which were truly inspiring and the online format more recently, which was also a great experience. Thanks for sharing all you know so beautifully, Gary!
- Elaine Barrett, Yoga Teacher
I appreciated the class very much. First of all, Gary knows how to create a social room, where all participants interact in a very sensible way - even if this ‘social room’ is digital. Secondly, I loved the wonderful intertwining of the main principles of movement, habits, rituals and Ayurvedic perspective in the limelight of Vedic astrology. Gary knows how to tell ‘the story’, which I think is the most important characteristic of a good teacher. So I learned to get more accurate or adjusted to the systemic point of view on balancing doshas by using special sequences according to the planetary constellation or in alignment with the prominent planet in one’s own chart. I can only recommend the course and hope to be a part of a further one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Gary.
- Yvonne Beerenbrock, Yoga Teacher
This course was a one of a kind. Yoga and Ayurveda are often taught together, but this is the first time I’ve been able to access a course that also integrates the science of astrology. Gary presented the content in a fun and relatable way, which could have been confusing but was not. I’m looking forward to seeing what he has in store for future offerings.
- Jillian Harty, Student of Yoga and Ayurveda
The best decision I made in the past few years. I progressed from not even knowing what a "house" was to being able to read my own chart! The course was not only about charts, but there were also remedies and mantras to ward off or correct any challenges (and they work!). Gary is a mine of information. I would have gladly sat and listened to him and his words of wisdom all night long!
- Kay Higgins, Student of Astrology and Yoga
I highly recommend Gary O’Toole’s instruction to anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Vedic sciences, or just to get in closer touch with their own physical, mental, and spiritual being. Gary does a wonderful job of connecting the movement of yoga with the 9 planets, both explaining verbally and physically demonstrating the energies of the planets and the connection to each type of physical constitution or dosha. His teaching would be highly beneficial to any student of astrology, yoga, or anyone interested in a better understanding of their own body-mind connection.
- Christine Lie, ACVA Associate of Arts in Jyotish, CVA Jyotish Visharada
I was one of the lucky participants in the course with Gary O'Toole. Each of the sessions was dedicated to a Graha or planet. We practised Asana, Mantra, Pranayama, besides teachings on the Vayus, Doshas and Gunas, and the general working of each pertaining Planet. This course is absolutely unique. I have never come across teachings with a blending of Jyotish, Yoga and Ayurveda like it. Besides, to participate was absolutely enjoyable. Although I come to these subjects from an entirely different angle, it was easy to spot Gary O'Toole as a dedicated and accomplished Yogi, and as such, I felt it was a true honour to be able to join in and learn from him. It is not often that we meet such a person.
