A Look Back At Susan Taylor's Predictions For 2024—Did She Hit The Mark?

I had predicted global tensions in 2024

In the summary of the year 2024, written and published between October and December 2023, I had written, among other things:
- "With Pluto in Aquarius, we should feel a greater openness of mind, more freedom, a certain relief compared to the drastic, demanding, and severe nature of Pluto in Capricorn. (...) Pluto in Aquarius encourages revolts, breaks down barriers, promotes progressive movements, and advances mentalities. It triggers major upheavals, which we might consider true progress but which, depending on the other planetary transits of the year, could also bring an explosive climate..."

👉 This reminds us of the upheavals that occurred in 2024 (tense U.S. elections, the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict involving Lebanon, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the rise of extremes in various parts of the world (both right and left-wing movements), and the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in Syria...

I had also published: "Pluto in Aquarius will lead to a radical transformation of society and significant changes compared to today. Our ways of communicating, the tools we use, and advancements in computing, aeronautics, etc., will evolve impressively in the years to come, but we are just at the beginning."

👉 This brings to mind Elon Musk: his inventions and ventures (cars, rockets, social networks, satellites, phones, etc.) have been widely discussed, especially since the U.S. elections. Elsewhere, technological advancements in general are accelerating rapidly worldwide (robots, transportation methods, etc.).

Regarding the general climate, I had written: "In conclusion, 2024 will be a year of transformation, evolution, and upheaval, but we will have more periods of respite to recharge and greater mental strength to face these disruptions and counter our fears..." This aligns with the climate we have experienced.

Predicted authoritarian behaviors and tensions between heads of state

In the article "Will there be a third world war in 2024?" written and published between October and December 2023, I had summarized:

"Starting April 21, 2024, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus could provoke tensions among certain leaders, leading to authoritarian behaviors and conflicts between heads of state. In May, a tense aspect between Saturn and Pluto could cause global difficulties, exacerbating the dilemma between reason and instincts, symbolizing a struggle between different forms of political power. The second half of August might see rising dissatisfaction and tensions, with a possibility of conflicts at the end of September when the semi-square between Saturn and Pluto recurs. While this configuration is not as destructive as a square or opposition, it could create unease and fuel radical ideas. Other aspects of the year will bring moments of destabilization but also desires for harmony. Although conflicts like those in Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine may cause economic and political tensions, a third world war is not expected to break out in 2024."

This strongly resembles what we experienced.

Predictions for the U.S. that turned out to be accurate

In "What does the future hold for the U.S. in 2024?" written in 2023 for the period from May to the end of 2024, I had written:

(...) in May: Saturn and Pluto may cause some concerns, questions, and a resurgence of fears related to the international situation, fears of a health or economic crisis, or fears of conflicts... in June (...): Various agreements, reconciliations if necessary, and partnerships will be encouraged both internationally and domestically. In July: In the second half (...), there will be a lot of activity and excitement across the country, along with joy... This is likely due to major events like the Olympics. Between the 15th and 25th, Mars and Uranus may bring tensions, stress, and a need for the U.S. to respond with the best possible reflexes and adapt with the best solutions (...). In August: This month is mixed. Mars and Jupiter encourage goodwill from everyone, and the U.S. will shine globally. There may be some sporting successes, including medals for the U.S.... However, the square between Saturn and Jupiter around August 19, a few days after the Olympics end, indicates that the excitement will suddenly fade, and joy will diminish (political concerns arise). In September: At the start of September, Pluto calls on leaders to conduct a precise and rigorous review of the previous months to begin the fall with clarity and caution. (...) Around the 26th, Saturn and Pluto indicate a struggle between two adversaries or two very different forms of political power. Tensions rise again. (...) In October: It will be necessary to maintain good international relations, which may prove challenging. (...) Within the country, there will be a lot of mutual aid among people, resourcefulness, and exchanges of systems. November: From early November, Mars and Pluto will create power struggles between leaders, both domestically and internationally. Among the people, there is a risk of division, and aggression from some will need to be managed to avoid violent confrontations. At the end of the month, Pluto's return to Aquarius reminds us of the principles of fraternity. December: (...) The year's review is mixed. Moreover, between the 20th and the end of the month, Saturn's position relative to Jupiter may lead to a period marked by various forms of limitations, whether economic, ecological, or otherwise. It invites us to accept that our goals and desires may be temporarily hindered while avoiding bitterness. At the end of December, Mars and Pluto may again create powerful tensions with a fierce adversary or a revolutionary, conflictual climate within the nation...

👉 This reminds us of the various twists and the atmosphere in the U.S. at that time, with the elections, political shifts, and the need to find new agreements and alliances... and finally, the complications surrounding these "possible or impossible alliances" with the formation of a new government or leadership structure!
