At the beginning of 2025, a widely shared set of predictions from a self-acclaimed “top psychic” outlined dramatic forecasts across weather, politics, world leaders, celebrities, and the global economy. These predictions were delivered with confidence and rich symbolism, encouraging the public to view them as extraordinary insight. These predictions were published across a few mainstream media publications.
Now that the year has passed, it is possible to assess which claims aligned with reality and which did not.
This article examines those original predictions directly — not in general terms — and compares them to what actually occurred.
Weather Events
Prediction:
-
Increased flooding across Australia
-
Extremely hot days including in Sydney
-
Major bushfires sparked by lightning
-
Authorities unable or unwilling to control fires
-
A tall tower burning in the Sydney area
-
Rising sea levels at Circular Quay
-
Increased frequency and severity of typhoons in the Philippines, including telecommunications disruption
What Was True:
Australia did experience flooding and periods of extreme heat during 2025. Parts of the Asia–Pacific region, including the Philippines, were affected by severe storm activity, consistent with broader climate patterns.
However, these outcomes align with long-standing climate science projections, not unexpected events. Anyone who accepts climate change would reasonably expect intensified heat, flooding, and storm systems as part of the new norm.
What Did Not Occur:
-
No tall tower burned in Sydney
-
No iconic or symbolic structure was destroyed by fire
-
No catastrophic bushfire event occurred where authorities “did nothing”
-
No verified sea-level inundation at Circular Quay occurred
-
No major telecommunications collapse linked to typhoons was documented
Conclusion:
Broad weather trends occurred as expected under climate change. The specific dramatic imagery did not materialise.
The Australian Economy
Prediction:
-
The economy would be “underwater” in 2025 or 2026
-
Economic hardship driven by global macroeconomic forces
-
Difficulty beyond government control
What Was True:
Australia continued to face cost-of-living pressures and economic uncertainty linked to global conditions.
What Did Not Occur:
-
No economic collapse
-
No recession formally tied to the predicted symbolism
-
No specific turning point identifiable as a psychic forecast
Conclusion:
The prediction was vague and broadly applicable, making it difficult to falsify but also offering no measurable insight.
Royal Family Predictions
Prediction:
-
Declining health and vitality around the monarch
-
Diminished power
-
Increased stress from family relationships
-
A rising global leadership role for Prince Harry
What Was True:
No publicly verified events supported these claims in 2025.
What Did Not Occur:
-
No confirmed major health decline
-
No loss of authority
-
No significant shift in royal power dynamics
-
No new global leadership role for Prince Harry
Conclusion:
These predictions did not manifest in any concrete or verifiable way.
Australian Prime Minister
Prediction:
-
Repeated imagery of a baby or children
-
Either a literal birth or a symbolic rebirth
-
A celebratory period involving the Prime Minister and partner
What Was True:
-
No public evidence of a literal birth
-
No major personal event announced
What Did Not Occur:
-
No confirmed pregnancy or child
-
No significant rebirth event identifiable
Conclusion:
The prediction remained ambiguous and did not translate into a clear real-world outcome.
Donald Trump and United States Politics
Prediction:
-
Trump would not complete his term
-
Initial economic optimism followed by strain
-
Stock market rise then decline
-
Failed peace negotiations with Russia
-
Eventual Ukrainian freedom in late 2025 or 2026
-
Declining Russian economy and rouble
What Was True:
-
Initial economic optimism occurred following Trump’s return
-
Global markets experienced volatility
-
The Ukraine war continued
What Did Not Occur:
-
Trump did not leave office early in 2025
-
No peace agreement was reached
-
Ukraine was not freed in 2025
-
Russia did not break apart
Conclusion:
Some broad political instability occurred, but the central prediction — early departure from office — did not happen.
Elon Musk
Prediction:
-
Volatile Uranian energy
-
A stable long-term relationship
-
Symbolic imagery involving sand, books, and “onion rings”
What Was True:
-
No verifiable events corresponded to these claims
What Did Not Occur:
-
No identifiable public outcomes linked to the imagery
Conclusion:
These predictions were symbolic and unverifiable, offering no measurable accuracy.
Elton John
Prediction:
-
Being dragged off stage
-
A forced end to performance
-
Decline in health
What Was True:
-
No such incident occurred
What Did Not Occur:
-
No public removal from stage
-
No event matching the prediction
Conclusion:
The prediction did not materialise.
Final Assessment
When reviewed carefully, the self-acclaimed top psychic predictions for 2025 show a consistent pattern:
✔ Broad trends occurred where climate science and economics already pointed
✖ Specific dramatic events did not occur
✖ Symbolic language replaced accountability
✖ Failed predictions remained protected by vagueness
If extreme weather is now the norm due to climate change, then predicting it is not psychic foresight — it is expectation.
True insight is measured not by confidence or titles, but by accuracy, clarity, and humility when reviewing outcomes.
