Psychic Predictions 2023: How True They’ve Been So Far
This article is reviewed and verified by our advisor Jeni
As humans, we are naturally curious, and we also prefer being ready for what’s to come. That’s one of the main reasons why professional fortune tellers won’t be out of a job any time soon. But while fortune readers specialize in personalized predictions, which are normally quite accurate, there are also psychics who mostly talk about global events. So let’s talk about 2023 psychic predictions and analyze how true they’ve been so far.
How True 2022 Psychic Predictions Were?
Just like it happens every year, some psychic predictions for 2022 turned out to be correct, others not so much. However, there are two specific instances where psychics were almost terrifyingly accurate when discussing what would happen in the year 2022.
One of the more discussed examples, at least outside the psychic community, was the prediction by the so-called new Nostradamus, Craig Hamilton-Parker, known, among other things, for his spot-on predictions on all things royal family. He correctly warned the world that 2022 would be the last year for Queen Elizabeth II, which, as we all know, turned out to be true.
Another good example of accurate psychic predictions 2022 was the warning that in 2022, the world would be hit by devastating floods. Once again, the 2022 Pakistan and Eastern Australia floods, which were arguably the biggest natural disasters of last year, proved psychics’ prognoses correct.
Now back to the predictions for this year.
Psychic Predictions 2023: Natural Disasters
Psychics who go public with their yearly predictions often discuss natural disasters, and this year wasn’t an exception. A few celebrity psychics predicted that this would be the year of deadly earthquakes of near-unprecedented magnitude. Sadly, they weren’t wrong. One of the biggest tragedies of 2023 has been the Turkey-Syria earthquakes that took place in February. They took the lives of almost 60,000 people, with many more injured and missing.
A few psychics also warned the world about devastating wildfires and have even correctly predicted the U.S. to be the epicenter. This prediction has recently been proven correct by the Hawaii Firestorm that took place this August. The Hawaii wildfires killed almost 100 people and cost the U.S. over $5 billion.
As spot-on as these prophecies have been, it’s important to understand that such global predictions are bound to be vague. For more specific and personalized forecasts, it makes sense to turn to 2023 psychic predictions astrology, such as the impact of celestial bodies on Zodiac signs. Better even, consider trying individual fortune-telling sessions if you’d like to be warned about something more personal than an earthquake that is expected to happen some 5,000 miles away.
Psychic Predictions for 2023: Global Geopolitics
Arguably the scariest and most notorious prediction for 2023 was the imminence of nuclear disaster. Granted, it hasn’t happened yet, and let’s hope it won’t. However, given the events of the Russia-Ukraine war, the prediction doesn’t seem that implausible. By the way, the Doomsday Clock is currently at its record point, 90 seconds to midnight, and it has been since January 24, 2023.
While this isn’t exactly about geopolitics, psychics also correctly predicted that Donald Trump would be arrested and prosecuted for his involvement in the so-called Georgia election case, meaning Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Trump was arrested on August 24, 2023.
Psychics, including celebrity psychics, have historically been good at predicting the outcomes of presidential elections in the U.S. Both Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 and Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 were predicted correctly. Perhaps, with the next election around the corner, now is the best time to look into psychic predictions next president.
2023 Psychic Predictions: The Entertainment Industry
This one isn’t nearly as ominous as natural or nuclear disasters, but psychics were also correct about this year’s turbulence in the entertainment industry. A few well-known psychics predicted that 2023 would not be easy for Hollywood. As we know by now, they were spot-on.
The significance of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike for the film industry in the U.S. and beyond is difficult to overestimate. It has not only successfully changed the status of various types of industry workers for the better but also affected countless productions, including festivals, movies, and television shows. A lot of the titles we were hoping to see in theaters and on streaming services are now delayed.
Other Psychic Predictions for This Year
As to the psychic predictions that haven’t been true so far (and hopefully, won’t), the alien invasion is a big one. Several celebrity psychics claimed that 2023 would be the year when UFOs not only reveal themselves to humans but actually start invading the Earth. Admittedly, this one’s a popular forecast; a psychic or two warns the world about the imminent alien invasion virtually every year. It gets increasingly more difficult to take these predictions seriously by the year.
Verdict
As you can see, a lot of the psychic predictions for 2023 have already come true, including natural disasters, events in global politics, and momentous shifts in the entertainment industry.
However, unlike personalized fortune-telling, generalized forecasts for events in the entire world are rarely 100% (or frankly, even 80%) accurate. Take them with a grain of salt; no need to start building a bunker for the upcoming alien invasion.
