Psychic predictions of 2008

Predicting in the wake of a discouraged economy and a dying Bush administration can be quite contentious, but most of our population wants to know “exactly where we are in 2008 here in the United States.” The following has been prepared to give you some ideas and perhaps an edge over preparing for 2008.

o The basic energy of 2008 is stability and strength in a weak and unstable US economy. This kind of power will be the hidden instigator of tensions and misunderstandings in all areas of everyday life. Therefore, look at the underlying influence of any problems that may arise at work or at home.

o It is a turbulent year with natural disasters, particularly tidal waves, possibly a tsunami. It is not unusual to see earthquakes and landslides here in California, but it is quite unusual to see several scattered around the world in a year. Good grievance; hurricanes are wild next year.

o Global warming has long been a major concern around the world, and eventually the United States will become a team player in support of scientific endeavors.

o Election years have always been exciting years for Americans. I hope to see a lot of twists and turns in the upcoming election before the Republicans give way to our new Democratic leader. There will be events in the world that will leave us wondering if we will even have elections. Back in 1999 I had stated in my forecast, “in the first fifteen years of the new millennium a woman will be named president of the United States.” Psychic predictions are not fixed and can be altered. We can certainly alter this one! All the candidates look promising and wow! Look who Oprah is supporting, how cool is that!

o Inflation is global and very few countries can compete with industrious China, but 2008 shows positive change as industries begin to push sophisticated services, education, and manufacturing in those nations that have been at a disadvantage. Wages will increase slightly.

o The Hollywood writers’ strike ends at the beginning of the year, bringing much-needed relief to all those in the industry and those who depend on them. Overall, the lack of strong investors in 2008 weakens the entertainment industry. The literary world, on the other hand, will favor much better.

o The new discoveries that will be revealed each year in space never cease to amaze me. A new planet is one of those great discoveries in 2008, as well as an extraordinary discovery right here on earth when the remains of an ancient being are discovered. “Could this be proof of the existence of ET?”

o We have all suffered through the housing market in 2007 when thousands of homeowners across America were facing foreclosure and bankruptcy. It will be a buyer’s market with fantastic real estate opportunities. Maybe we can recoup some of our losses.

o The stock market will be slow and cautious but stable. I don’t detect a record low or high in 2008.

o Another profitable year is coming for high-tech and Internet businesses.

Happy Holidays to all. Have a blessed year.
