Astrologer warns Gayle King not to embark on Blue Origin space trip after having an ominous premonition

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gayle King is all set to jet off on her Blue Origin space trip in mid-spring even though she is being urged to reconsider. 

While the 'CBS Mornings' co-anchor gets ready to embark on the memorable trip - to the chagrin of many of her fans - a Los Angeles-based astrologer is apparently attempting to talk her out of the grand venture. 

Astrologer Ashley Sipes, who boasts of 1.8 million likes on TikTok and is a self-proclaimed expert of ‘predictive and karmic insights’, recently shared a terrifying reading of King’s planetary chart and asked her to refrain from going on the space trip.

Gayle King urged by astrologer 'not to go' on Blue Origin space trip

On Thursday, February 27, it was revealed that Gayle King is going on a space trip in Jeff Bezos’ rocket ship along with an all-female crew that includes the likes of the Amazon founder’s fiancee Lauren Sanchez, and Katy Perry, among others. 

The 70-year-old broadcaster shared with her co-hosts that while she was terrified about the expedition, she was also simultaneously excited about it. 

However, astrologer Sipes is warning her against it as she shared a video on her social media where she studied King’s planetary charts while warning her of an unsettling consequence if she ultimately decides to go, per Daily Mail.

Speaking to her fans, Sipes - who boasts of amalgamating astrology with pop culture, said, “Ms 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.”

The astrologer continued, “I'm not saying something terrible or tragic is going to happen, but this just doesn't feel right to me.”

Sipes further shared a diagram chart claiming that it showed the positions of planets corresponding to a person’s birth chart. Explaining, Sipes noted that based on the planetary movement, it would be better if the news anchor decided to stay home instead. 

“She'll have transit Uranus squared her natal Pluto. This is a very slow-moving transit, and on its own doesn't really concern me much,” shared Sipes, before continuing, “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.”

She explained, “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.”

“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,” Sipes added while giving a disclaimer that she was not spreading fear among King’s fans. 

Sharing the video on her Instagram, Sipes noted, "PLEASE GAYLE LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION!! 🚨."

Later in the comment section, she further added, "Gayle's Natal Mars is at 17° in Pisces, which signals risks in travel, especially in unpredictable environments...think space or deep waters. With transit Jupiter squaring (a hard aspect) her Natal Mars, those risks get amplified, bringing potential overconfidence or unforeseen dangers. Space travel? It's a hard NO."

Gayle King reveals she is ‘terrified and excited at the same time’

Speaking to her 'CBS Mornings' co-hosts, Gayle King admitted that she was simultaneously feeling both excited and terrified at the prospect of space travel. Nevertheless, she decided to take up the role after consulting with her children - daughter Kirby Bumpus and son William Bumpus Jr - and best friend Oprah Winfrey. 

“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,” shared the broadcaster. 

King continued, “Once Kirby and Will and Oprah was fine with it, I was fine.”

She shared that while she thought her friend Oprah would be apprehensive, she was surprised when her friend emerged as a solid support. 

“I thought Oprah would say no, no. She said, 'I think if you don't do it, when they all come back and you had the opportunity to do it, you will be kicking yourself'. She's right,” shared King. 

King, Sanchez, and Perry would also be joined by the former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe along with civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn, as reported by the outlet.
