Astrologer Warns Gayle King About Going On Jeff Bezos-Sponsored Space Trip

Gayle King is one of the women set to go on the Blue Origin space trip in the spring, but an astrologer has warned her to think twice about doing so.

On Thursday, February 27, King, Jeff Bezos's partner, Lauren Sanchez, and singer Katy Perry shocked fans when they announced they would be heading to space.

NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and movie producer Kerianne Flynn would join the all-women crew.

During Thursday's episode of "CBS Mornings," King expressed how she felt ahead of her upcoming voyage to space.

She said, "I don't know how to explain being terrified and excited at the same time. It's like how I felt about to deliver a baby."

However, the 70-year-old believes the trip to space is an opportunity to experience something new.

She said, "I thought I wanted to open myself up to new adventures and step out of my comfort zone."

King also revealed that she consulted with her best friend, Oprah Winfrey, and her kids, Kirby and William, before committing to the voyage.

She revealed, "Once Kirby and Will and Oprah was fine with it, I was fine. I thought Oprah would say no, no. She said, 'I think if you don't go, when they all come back and you had the opportunity to do it, you will be kicking yourself.' She's right."

Despite her fears about going on a space adventure, King expressed confidence in Blue Origin and is excited about the trip.

She said, I feel well prepared. I believe in Blue Origin, what they're doing. I am really excited and actually looking forward to it."

The mother of two admitted that traveling to space was not on her to-do list, but that changed in November when Blue Origin approached her with the opportunity.

"This was never my dream. It was never my dream," she said. "And somebody said, maybe you need to have new dream, Gayle."

King also praised the other women traveling with her, describing them as "b-dass" and adding, "They have such amazing stories."

Although King is looking forward to the space adventure despite her fears, an astrologer has urged her to reconsider embarking on the trip.

Los Angeles-based astrologer Ashley Sipes issued the warning via a TikTok video, sharing a clip of King saying she was "so afraid" of going on the trip during Thursday's episode of "CBS Mornings."

After the clip, the astrologer shared an image of King's transit chart for April 15 — a diagram showing the planets' positions and how they relate to the broadcaster's birth chart.

Sipes began, "This is for Gayle King and Gayle King only. Miss King is headed to space, okay. She's getting in a rocket mid-spring, I believe. I don't know the exact date, so we're going April 15 and her gut is telling her not to go, and I'm telling her not to go."

She added, "I'm not saying something terrible or tragic is going to happen, but this just doesn't feel right to me."

As the clip progressed, Sipes explained Gayle King's transit chart and the key movements indicating her trip to space might not bode well.

The astrologer said, "She'll have to transit Uranus squared her natal Pluto. This is a very slow-moving transit and on its own doesn't really concern me much."

She continued, "I would say division of a business partnership of some kind, but then we have Jupiter squaring Mars, and Mars is in her second house, it's at 17 degrees."

Sipes also said, "That is in the sign of Pisces - 17 degrees of Pisces warns of accidents and violence in travel. Jupiter, transit Jupiter, is activating this placement."

She concluded, "Not trying to be negative or fearmonger, I think it's great if this is what she wants, but in the video she's clearly upset, and that in combination makes me extremely distraught as well."

Other TikTokers reacted to the astrologer's video and shared their thoughts on King's journey to space, with many advising her not to go.

One person wrote, "Reminds me of the little boy from the submerged water thing who was anxious about going. I also got a bad feeling when I saw. Don't go Gayle!"

Another person commented, "With all the drama going on in the world, I would not go."

A third person shared, "She should not go please listen to your gut."

Another TikToker added, "I have learned to listen to my intuition."

A fifth fan wrote, "Always listen to your gut. Also don't do anything you don't want to do."

One can only wonder if King will heed the astrologer's warning and change her mind about going on the space trip. Only time will tell.
