About Gaia Hope Good

What followed was a decade of immersion that took me to India, Latin America, Guatemala, Brazil, Bali, and eventually to the Sacred Valley of Peru, where I now live. Along the way I sat with extraordinary teachers, trained in shamanic and plant medicine traditions, studied hermetic philosophy, alchemy, and the Kabbalah, and underwent the kind of initiations that no formal curriculum can offer. I also got very lost. I walked through illness, fear, and genuine darkness. I know what it is to have no framework for what is happening to you, to feel completely unmoored from yourself and your life.

It was in Bali, during a moment of unexpected stillness, that astrology found me. I received a reading from a student of Daniel Giamario, and something shifted. Not because of what was said, but because I realised, sitting there, that I already spoke this language. The chart was a map, and it was my map. For the first time, everything I had lived began to make coherent sense.

I started studying immediately. Charts for friends. Hours of reading. Deepening through practice and direct experience. What astrology gave me was not just understanding, it gave me ground. I could see the transits moving through my life with precision. I could understand the purpose inside the difficulty. It transformed how I related to my own story, and it became the steadiest guide I have ever found.

Over the years that followed, I trained formally with Steven Forrest, one of the founding voices of Evolutionary Astrology, and studied alongside Daniel Giamario, Judith Hill, and Sajah Popham. I completed a degree in psychology, 500 hours of yoga teacher training, and deep studies in Reiki, medical astrology, holistic herbalism, and the esoteric traditions. Alongside this, years of independent study, thousands of hours of chart work, and the ongoing practice of living this path have shaped the teaching I offer today.

I began teaching yoga teacher trainings at twenty-six and discovered something I hadn't expected: I love to teach. I have a gift for making complex things land, for feeling into what a group needs, and finding the story or the angle that opens it up. My students rarely describe their experience as simply learning astrology. More often they describe it as a kind of waking up, finally seeing themselves clearly, finally understanding why.

That is what I am here to offer.

I live high in the mountains of the Sacred Valley, in close relationship with nature, with the land, and with the invisible world that has always been my home. I am a highly sensitive person, and I have spent years learning to work with that, to stay grounded, regulated, and present while remaining genuinely open and attuned. This shapes everything about how I teach. My classes are alive, generous, and deeply personal. I bring my full self, not a curated version of wisdom, but the real thing, earned through lived experience, humility, and an honest commitment to my own continuing evolution.

I am not finished with astrology, and astrology is not finished with me. I am still studying, still deepening, still finding new layers in my own chart and in my own life. I think that is why students return. Not because I have all the answers, but because this work is clearly, unmistakably, everything to me.

My studies include training with Steven Forrest, Daniel Giamario, Judith Hill, and Sajah Popham, woven together with a BSc in Psychology, ERYT-500 yoga teacher training, Reiki Master certification, and over 5,000 hours of formal training across astrology, psychology, plant medicine traditions, and esoteric practice. I have taught for more than 7,000 hours across yoga, astrology, and transformational work.
