Things are going to be shaky on all fronts. The stock market will fall, and fall, and fall again, despite the "powers that be" trying to prop it up.
Real Estate has dropped in value over 10% in major markets as I predicted years ago - the trend will continue, there will be no bottoming out in the next decade as the real estate 'experts' project. The question everyone will be asking is,
"How low can it possibly go?"
Very low...give away anyone? Actually, you will not even be able to give it away!
Not only do the massive foreclosures on real estate disrupt and challenge the lives of homeowners that thought they were finally living the dream - but it will effect everyone because the more foreclosures in your neighborhood, the more the value and attractiveness of your property is lowered. The real estate debacle will affect you - don't kid yourself.
Fuel costs will skyrocket - well, they already have. Oil is now $100.00 a barrel. I predict it will reach $130.00 a barrel by March/April 2008. Vespa scooters will become extremely popular. As will motorized tri-cycles, walking, bicycling - all good for the environment. Gas prices in the United States will be over $4.00 by May and 'may' creep back down some, but then skyrocket again mid-June 2008. Those Sheiks are laughing all the way to the bank - so are Bush and Cheney. I had a dream, well maybe it was a nightmare. SUVs and gas guzzling vehicles were abandoned by the side of the roads. No one could afford the gas, forget those huge monthly car payments. Ford Motors will go belly up...others will have to slash production to the lowest levels since the turn of the century. Yup, cost me $44.00 to fill up today - January 2, 2008! Couple of years ago it was $18.00 - Did you know the government does NOT COUNT the cost of fuel, groceries (milk)

Christmas sales were lower than being reported, there will be many more 'returns' and I am not speaking of 'happy returns'.
Credit card fees are going to skyrocket as well as bank fees. Don't have the cash? Do NOT buy it. How much is enough anyway? Too much enough? You will never fill that hole in your soul with 'things'.
2008 is a Karmic Year for Everyone on the planet. Join the Club.
Karma? The Golden Rule - Do Unto Others, er what you have done to others in many lives, is about to bite you back. Change your ways now! This instant! Jussta ride it out, be the best person you can be as you face the most incredible challenges of your life. Think you can't take anymore? Ha! You can and you will - or you will opt out of this life and come back and face even more Karma all over again. Think there is no justice? There is - Divine Justice! It appears that some people lead charmed lives - appearances are always deceiving, or haven't you learned that lesson yet? Everything you thought you loved or needed is ripped away, sometimes all at once, other times one after another. You will learn that you can not only survive, but overcome. You will learn compassion, kindness, understanding, empathy, and you will feel like the ultimate victim.
Until you get it - you get it??? You will GET IT!
There is good news and bad news - the bad news is, "there is no good news". So buckle up, check your emotions, chill, cool, learn to meditate or at least take lots of walks in nature so you can cope with one 'jolt' after another in every area of your life. Screaming into a pillow is a great option to freaking out and taking others with you. Speaking of taking others with you - the violence, shootings at Virginia Tech, The Mall, the entire family over the holidays in Washington State - will all escalate - people are really pissed off and there is no solace for them, if they are suffering, they want to take as many with them as possible.
Cleanse! I mean clean your body, let go of belongings you do not use or have not used in 6 months (I am being generous here). All that 'stuff' weighs you down. Sell it if you must, recycle for sure - give clothing, blankets, and toiletries to local homeless shelters. Donate furniture and furnishings to local thrift shops.
Consumerism is OUT - Passé` my friends.
Reality strikes hard, deep and shockingly right at the beginning of the New Year of 2008!
Denial ain't no river!
So welcome to reality - and not the TV shows! Greed is NOT good. Isn't it one of the cardinal sins? Talk about greed and the lust for money - do you really watch these people sacrificing any integrity and character they had for money, to win and lose their soul?
Strikes will rage rampant. Protests follow outrageous exposé's of unthinkable acts, stupidity abounds in our leaders and their unconscious followers who believe their lies.
Terrorism will remain rampant, not only in the Middle East, but will return to our shores, terrorists want to ruin our major holidays - so watch and beware especially on major holidays. I hate the use of "Homeland" for the United States of America - it rings of Nazi doublespeak. Gives me the creeps simply to hear it or write it or think it! Ugh!
Speaking of doublespeak - it will run rampant, well run at the mouth for sure!
There will be two attempted assassinations of political candidates, one will succeed, the other candidate will be comatose and fade away from memory.
Earthquakes will be more frequent and come in 'swarms' in all of California. There will be four 'great quakes' this year, primarily striking Indonesia, Sumatra along with two huge Tsunamis. (Note: A major volcanic eruption has occurred and there have been several large earthquakes on New Year's Day) I told you things would be shaky - I think that was an understatement.
There will be six major volcanic eruptions, one under the sea. Amazingly, Yellowstone National Park will include not only earthquakes but lava seeping from a rising dome that comes from a super volcano. Utah will experience a major quake as will Washington State in the Cascade Mountain Range crumbling nearby populated areas. Alaska will also experience a swarm of earthquakes reaching up over 6.0 on the Richter Scale and will also have a major volcanic eruption in what was thought to be a dormant volcano/glacier. New Zealand will experience an extremely strong earthquake, as will Australia.
Freaks of nature will abound. Ice Storms in June. Heat Waves in February. Winds reaching 90 - 100 MPH will almost be common. Hurricanes on twisted paths that no one can predict where they will hit. Tornados will more than double in the Midwest, most striking between the hours of 2:30 and 5:07 a.m.
Food born illnesses, contaminated foods, bad reactions from medications that were politely termed 'side effects' by the pharmaceutical companies, contaminated air, pollution is not the solution and will be ignored until there is a major crisis - which it always takes to pay attention.
Major plumbing breaks. San Diego County has been experiencing many. They are attributed to 100-year old aging pipes. Actually it is because of very deep earth/lava movement coupled with the very old pipes. Watch for flooding from broken mains, overflowing rivers that never overflowed before. Wet, wet, wet!!! And getting wetter.
Song that will fit this year the best: "If you're going through hell" by Rodney Atkins I rate it *****
This is NOT a year for those in authority. Their authority will constantly be challenged, they will be assailed by unknown assailants and known assailants. Not a good year for police or those in law enforcement, skyrocketing injuries, wounds and death will abound as 2008 progresses. My advice to them? Do not hesitate when confronting a criminal.
More predictions will be added on my web site as they come to me - keep coming back!
