Early in her career, Astakhova competed with Nikita Bochkov. They won the bronze medal at the 2011 Russian Junior Championships and were sent to the 2011 World Junior Championships, where they finished 7th.
In 2012, Astakhova teamed up with Maxim Kurdyukov. They competed together for two seasons.
By June 2014, she formed a partnership with Alexei Rogonov, coached by Artur Dmitriev. Astakhova/Rogonov won both of their 2014–15 ISU Challenger Series (CS) events and took bronze at the 2014 Rostelecom Cup, their Grand Prix debut. They came in fourth at the 2015 Russian Championships and later placed 10th at the 2015 World Championships, competing in the place of Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov who had withdrawn.
Astakhova/Rogonov started the 2015–16 season on the Challenger Series, taking silver at the 2015 Ondrej Nepela Trophy behind Stolbova/Klimov. Competing on the Grand Prix series, they placed 7th at the 2015 Skate America and 5th at the 2015 Cup of China. After winning silver at the 2015 Golden Spin of Zagreb, Astakhova/Rogonov finished 4th at the 2016 Russian Championships, ahead of Natalja Zabijako / Alexander Enbert.
