The Met Gala where haute couture meets high society used to be the unmissable event of the New York social calendar. No more, as scantily and bizarrely dressed trash celebrities and z-listers turned it into a giant flop with new sponsors and co-chairs Jeff Bezos and wife Lauren Sanchez getting most of the heat.
The icy Anna Wintour, Vogue editor until 2025 and a leading light heretofore for the Gala, spoke highly of Bezos and wife, but with her Solar Arc Saturn square her Mars for a major setback at the moment she may be regretting her decision. Bezos’ ambitious Sun Mars in Capricorn is conjunct her Jupiter which would boost her hopes and finances. But his Uranus Pluto sitting on her Mars Saturn might have been a warning.
Wintour, 3 November 1949, is a Sun Scorpio with an innovative trine to Uranus – and Mars Saturn in workaholic, critical Virgo.
Bezos, 12 January 1964 in NM, US, has tr Saturn moving to conjunct his Jupiter in Aries in the final ten days of this month which will damp his confidence; with even greater sinking feelings in 2027 from his Solar Arc Neptune conjunct his Sun and SA Pluto conjunct his Neptune.
His wife, Lauren Sanchez, 19 December 1969 NM, US, an upfront and exuberant Sun and Venus in Sagittarius has Jupiter in money-magnet Scorpio in an up-and-down opposition to Saturn; and an earthy Taurus Moon. She has her Solar Arc Jupiter conjunct her Sun at the moment for a confidence high but ahead will hit a major setback in late 2027/28 and disappointment by 2030.
Their relationship chart is focused on fashion-and-beauty (surface appearances) with an emphasised composite Venus Jupiter on the focal point of a trine between Saturn and Neptune; and trine Uranus Pluto.
Their wedding chart of 26 June 2025 in Venice, Italy, showed a complex mix of high confidence with a Sun Jupiter conjunction in Cancer though that squared Saturn Neptune in Aries – which might have suggested that charitable good deeds could have been a better way to go. What was more problematic were two yods onto Pluto and Mars respectively – which would certainly point to an influential, power-couple, though also a degree of ruthlessness and a tendency to attract hostility ahead.
The first Met Gala was held sometime in December 1948 when Jupiter was in early Capricorn so being undercut by tr Neptune Saturn in Aries at the moment.
