In this conversation with astrologer, martial artist, and Hermetic practitioner Aleksandra Ceho, we explore the deeper roots of astrology and how it can be used as a practical tool for insight, timing, and strategy.
Aleksandra explains how a true astrological reading goes far beyond Sun signs. A chart can reveal strengths, blind spots, and deeper motivations that shape the roles we’re drawn to in life and business. We also explore the concept of the Almutin, a traditional technique that can help explain why some paths feel natural while others never quite fit.
From there we move into practical application. Mercury relates to communication and technology. Jupiter expands reach and opportunity. Saturn governs structure, systems, and long-term sustainability. Aleksandra also explains how astrology can be used differently depending on whether the founder is the brand, or whether a business operates as its own independent entity.
We talk about timing launches and major decisions, why “good” transits still require accountability, and how eclipses can act as moments of clearing and reset.
Finally we zoom out to the larger sky. With Pluto now in Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries, and Uranus entering Gemini, Aleksandra sees the coming years as a period that favours bold ideas, innovation, and initiative.
Astrology doesn’t remove uncertainty, but it can offer a wider perspective when navigating big decisions.
