The Return of the Oracle and Why Wall Street Is Finally Catching Up
If you are still rolling your eyes at the intersection of business and spirituality in 2025, it is time to move on. That conversation is over.
We are watching the return of an ancient standard.
In a sharp, culturally significant piece for Marie Claire titled "The Witches of Wall Street," journalist Noor Ibrahim documents a shift that insiders have whispered about for years. She profiles a new class of financial advisors—former hedge fund analysts and accountants—who are trading spreadsheets for astrological charts. They are advising the C-suite not just on P&L statements, but on planetary alignments and energetic blocks.
I love this reporting. It confirms something I have long believed. The most sophisticated leaders are those who use every tool available to them, visible and invisible.
The Original Advisory Board
We tend to think of this "money mystic" trend as something new, perhaps born on TikTok. But if you zoom out, you realize we are simply returning to the historical baseline of power.
Throughout history, the most powerful empires were not built solely on military strategy. They were built on spiritual counsel. Roman emperors didn't make a move without consulting the augurs. Kings had court magicians. Indigenous leaders relied on shamans. Even J.P. Morgan, the titan of American finance, famously used astrology.
These leaders understood that logic has a ceiling. Data can only tell you what has already happened. To see around corners, to sense the "vibe" of a market before it shifts, you need a different kind of intelligence.
Intuition Is Just High-Speed Data
Ibrahim’s article introduces us to women like HeyJune Jeon, a former hedge fund analyst who realized she could feel the market moves before the numbers confirmed them.
This isn't magic. It is highly advanced pattern recognition.
As a founder, I respect data. But I trust intuition. In the gaming world, we call this "game sense"—knowing where the enemy is without seeing them. In business, it is the ability to synthesize millions of subconscious data points into a gut feeling.
The women in this article are simply formalizing that process. They are bringing the "Tech Chic" evolution to finance by acknowledging that human intelligence is vast, and logic is only one part of the operating system.
Respecting the Technology of the Spirit
However, there is a nuance here that separates the dabblers from the masters.
Because I believe this is real, I treat it with the same rigor I treat any complex system. You wouldn't let an unlicensed amateur manage your legal defense. You shouldn't let an untrained dabbler manage your energy.
The unseen world is not a vending machine for "good vibes." It is a complex, ancient ecosystem.
The women profiled in Marie Claire, like Jessie-Susannah Karnatz, approach this with the gravity it deserves. They use these tools for deep emotional excavation and meaning-making.
My stance is simple. If you are going to open the door to the unseen, do it with education. Do it with respect. Understand that you are tapping into a lineage of power that is thousands of years old.
The "Witches of Wall Street" aren't doing anything new. They are just reclaiming the seat at the table that the Oracles held thousands of years ago. And frankly, it is about time.
