I know that I often claim to be psychic, and I also know that most of you think I’m just exagerrating or kidding. Last Sunday I posted my annual Oscars Psychic Predictions. Of the top 5 movies nominated for Best Picture, I had only seen two of them. At about 11:00 pm Eastern time, when I was sound asleep, my son in California texted to tell me that not only did I get the Best Picture prediction correct, but I also got my other four Oscars predictions correct. One movie and actress that were each nominated, I had never even heard of when I wrote my post.
In all the years I’ve been making psychic predictions, both at the beginning of each year and for the Oscars, I don’t believe that I’ve ever been below 50% correct and often some of my most ridiculous predictions are the ones that come true.
Now I’m starting to wonder if I should find a way to make money with my psychic powers? Should I be a superhero, or maybe one of those California psychics advertised on the radio? Any suggestions?
Have a great day, and thanks for reading my nonsense again. ~Phil
Yes, it’s my most popular post to help you plan for the new year. You’re probably wondering if I’m really a psychic. The answer seems to be yes. In 2015 I posted my first “psychic predictions” article, intending just to be funny. But in those predictions I got some of them spot on right. I thought, “hey, maybe just luck, right?” Then in 2016 I did it again. I posted ten psychic predictions and by the end of the year I got most of them correct again. Yes, some of the predictions you’ll read here today are meant to be humorous, but the other ones are intended to be completely serious. Enough of my blabbering! Let’s get to the psychic stuff!
Is It Going to be “The End of The World As We Know It”?
The short answer is n0. But don’t get too comfy. We will have a scare involving artificial intelligence taking things into it’s own hands. Does A.I have hands? Some A.I. robots do for sure but they aren’t going to be pushing any big red buttons. It’s the computer/servor based A.I. that worries me. Some A.I. platforms are doing things autonomously and they very clearly have developed the ability to have opinions. As I’ve said before. The United Nations can’t leave A.I. to each country. It’s got to be a collaborative effort.

Americans flee the country for good in incredible numbers! Amongst tremendous and consistent political turbulence and unaffordable costs of living, the number of Americans moving to Europe and other countries will be reported to be unlike any generation before. The rest of the world will not be really thrilled about this development, but they will be very understanding.

Selena and Benny Divorce: I’m always sad when I have to predict the dissolution of a marriage. It’s not going to be because of cheating. It’s because Benny is never home. I’m not sure if this is a psychic prediction or not because in one afternoon, twice I saw Benny walking around Santa Monica on his cell phone with no Selena in sight. About two months later my son saw Benny going to the movies with no Selena in sight. They’re just not spending enough time together. They’re staying together not for the kids, because they don’t have any. They’re staying together for the album that was released in March.
The Drones will be back! Isn’t it interesting that the drones that were prominent in the northeast for several months last year and haven’t been mentioned AT ALL in the last year? There were nightly drone sightings on the news for months and as soon as I wrote about them, they disappeared. That’s super suspicious. I haven’t seen any news features say, “Where the heck did the drones go?” Don’t worry, they’ll be back in about four months. Yes, four months.
No One Will Want Wicked 3. In the immortal words of Conan O’Brien, “It’s the perfect movie for anybody who’s ever finished watching The Wizard of Oz and thought, ‘Sure, but where did all the minor characters go to college?” Wicked 3 will bomb at the box office.
The Royals! King Chuck will make fewer and fewer public appearances, fueling speculation of his ability to lead the country. When it was suggested that he step away to focus on his health he said, “Aww man! I just got the job! My mum had it forever before she keeled over. It’s not fair!”. Then he mistook a balloon dog for his crown. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been stripped of all official Royal Family affilations. As he worked at a Tim Horton’s in Cape Spear, New Foundland, he was quoted as saying, “I don’t work here because I have to but because I want to.” Yeah, sure Andy, just get me my hash browns.
That job won’t last long because Trump will annex the remote Canadian island and declare Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor the King of that territory.
Megan Markle will leave Prince Harry for actor/comedian Pete Davidson. See below.
That’s my guy. Pete, I’ve always got your back.
Personally, I predict I will travel the world and write about it. I’ll return to these psychic predictions any time one of them comes true and in June to see how my predictions are holding up. I’ll also add new predictions as they pop into my head so that you’ll always be prepared for anything the crazy world is going to throw at us.
Have a great 2026. I know I will. Thanks for reading! ~Phil
As I’ve said many times, I have never had any training or guidance with my psychic powers. Because of my lack of psychic discipline, sometimes I unintentionally influence or perceive something psychically without realizing it.
Did I psychically predict Pope Leo with my last blog post? I did recommend myself, an American, as the next Pope. I knew damn well that I wasn’t going to be picked unless I was a Cardinal, which I’m not, yet… But Pope Leo is an American and is pretty damn close to what I laid out for the kind of Pope the world needs right now. And he probably says “damn” a lot less than I do. As I said in my last blog post, the new Pope needed to have a social media presence. Three months ago, Pope Leo was on Twitter/X dunking on the current U.S. Vice-President. If that’s not social media savvy, then I don’t know what is.
I also lauded my affinity for stylish cargo shorts as a reason to vote for me as Pope. Pope Leo used to work in Peru. Don’t you think that there were times he ditched his heavy white cassock in favor of the more comfortable cargo shorts as he hiked through the Peruvian mountains? You’re damn right he did! He can carry a bible in one pocket and a cross in the other! And so can you! Just click the Amazon link to peruse your cargo shorts needs! (Can you tell that I’ve joined the Amazon affiliate program?)
So… in summary, in last weeks blog post I said:
We need an American Pope
We need a Pope with some fashion sense, aka cargo shorts
We need a Pope with social media pizazz
If that’s not psychic manifesting I don’t know what is. I’m kind of like Bruce Almighty. You’re welcome world.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, and thanks for reading! ~Phil
I know you’re wondering, “is this guy really a psychic?” Guess what? I wonder that too. In 2014, my first post about psychic predictions was intended to be all jokes. But one of the absurd predictions involving Justin Bieber and the Kardashian’s came exactly true. So I decided to publish my psychic predictions every year and I keep getting more things right!

As I’ve said every year, some of these predictions are intended to be completely humorous and others are completely serious. If it popped into my head as I’m writing this, I’m going to put it in here, because no matter how absurd an idea might be, it might also be true.
Donald Trump; The Geographic President? Because he forgot to insult the native Inuit/Alaskans during his first term in office, he wants the Alaskan mountain named Denali to go back to the name Mount McKinley, the name it had before 2015. Are we sure he’s not going to turn around and name it Mount Trump? Or is that the name of the wall at our southern border? He has also said he wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
He also wants to take back the Panama Canal, which the United States gifted full ownership of to Panama in 1999. He has talked about buying Greenland and taking over Canada. None of those things will happen in 2025. Prediction: In a ridiculous waste of time, he will get the mountain re-named, but the Gulf of Mexico will keep it’s name, the Panama Canal will remain in possession of Panama, and Greenland and Canada will not come under American control.
2025: The Year of Pete Davidson: In the past I have made a few jokes at Pete’s expense. Prediction: In 2025, Pete will come roaring back in the eyes of the public and will be recognized for his talent rather than his dating accomplishments. Pete, thanks for reading. I got your back.
Is The World Going To End? I enjoy my celebrity psychic predictions, but this is the most important prediction. Someday, life on Earth will end, and the December before it happens, I’ll tell you. Today is not that day my friends. Neither is any of the 365 days in 2025. Sure the possibility of a nuclear war is looming, but it won’t be the end of humanity in 2025.

Putin, Ukraine, and the war: As allies continue to abandon him, the Russian leader will spontaneously quit his job and retire to Margaritaville, Cancun. While he may not be the most popular guy at the pool bar, surprisingly, he tips well.
Yes, the scenario in the previous paragraph is just wishful thinking. I’ve never done this, but I’m going to roll over my 2024 prediction that the Ukraine war will end and Vladimir Putin will pass away under suspicious circumstances. I have a strong feeling on this one.

The Royals are always one of my favorite topics. In 2025 King Chuck and Camilla will face medical challenges. I’m more worried about Camilla than I am about Chuck. Rumors of marital troubles between Prince Harry and Meghan will stir the media at some point. Oddly, during the damp season in London, King Charles will spend a few weeks at Margaritaville, Cancun.
Bollywood actress and dancer, Malaika Arora
Bollywood! Yes, I’m dipping my psychic toe into the Bollywood celebrity pool. Prediction: Popular actress Malaika Arora will begin dating Pete DavidsonRahul Khanna . If there’s a cougar in Bollywood, it’s Malaika and she would meet her perfect match in the younger Khanna.

One last prediction: This is the year aliens become real! Yes, I said it and I’m not taking it back. They’ve been in the news for the last few years, and in 2025 we will all know for certain that they exist. With that acknowledgement, countries will display unprecedented unity at the United Nations to discuss and cooperate while Donald Trump tries to make the aliens pay tariffs and taxes for entering the United States. He will also claim dominion over their planets.
Thank you for reading and feel free to stay for apps and drinks later by the pool! ~Phil
Unlike most psychics, I am not afraid to review and grade my predictions for last year. If you haven’t read my 2024 psychic predictions, and want to before I tell you what I got right and wrong, CLICK HERE
(Image credit: G. Baden/Corbis via Getty Images)
1. Life on Earth will continue: Yes. I know this prediction seems like low hanging fruit, but if you search online, the psychic predictions trend is in favor for Earth’s demise. For the last eight years I have gone against the psychic community trends and predicted that this ball of dirt and apes will be here when you read my predictions next year. Grade: A+
Was I right? Maybe…
2. Lizzo will trim down with a semaglutide med, become a spokesperson for that med, and date Pete Davidson.
Was I right? Kind of. Lizzo did trim down and in an episode of South Park Cartman’s mother and friend were prescribed a weight loss medication named “Lizzo.” Here’s the video of her reaction:
She may not have become a spokesperson or admitted to using a semaglutide, but she was tied to it in pop culture and the news. I’m calling that a 50% win for my psychic powers. I saw it coming didn’t I? Grade: B, because I was wrong about her and Pete Davidson.
The war in Ukraine will end and Putin will die: I got this one wrong, although there is currently talk of a negotiated end to the war and Putin has put out his demands for the end of the war. Obviously Putin isn’t dead yet. I’ll give myself a D on this one because Putin publicizing his demands is a step towards the end. And, hey, we still have 9 days left in the year. I could still be right about his death and the war.
Royal Accounts 2019-20. EMBARGOED TO 0001 FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 25 File photo dated 25/12/18
All about the Royals! I didn’t notice this, but the credits to that photo above says “dated 25/12/18.” Did I somehow pull a picture from the future? My first Royal prediction was that 76 year old King Chuck would live through this year, and he has. I also predicted that there would be rumors of marital troubles between Prince William and his wife Kate, and there was. I was spot on right about that, but it wasn’t true and I was sad to later hear about Kate’s cancer battle.
I also predicted that Prince Harry and Meghan would resolve their troubles with the family and they did. I did predict that Meghan and Harry would allow cameras into their life as they directed their own reality show. Sadly I was wrong on that so far, but I’m still hoping. Overall, I got everything right except the reality show. For my Royal predictions, I give myself a B+.
The American Presidency: I predicted that neither Trump nor Biden would be President of the United States. Joe Biden did withdraw eight months after my prediction, and although Trump won the election, he doesn’t take office until Jan. 20th, so it remains to be seen if I was right about him becoming President. Not that I would ever root for anyone’s death, but that assassination attempt almost made this prediction completely correct. Grade: B, but if Trump does not become President, in January, this changes to an A+.
2024 will be the year of U.F.O.’s is what I predicted, and within two weeks of that prediction, there were reports of aliens in Miami. In November the United States Congress held U.F.O./alien hearings where they grilled military personnel on what is being hidden and what they know about alien spacecraft visiting Earth. Then, over the last three months the Northeast part of the United States has been inundated by drones/unidentified aerial phenomena. Are these unknown craft alien remote reconnaissance? Grade: A
2024 will be a year of climate change cooperation: I wasn’t wrong on this one. In 2024 worldwide, a record amount of renewable electricity was generated, and over 30% of the worlds electricity came from renewable sources. It reached over 50% in Europe at one point and once Portugal ran completely on renewable energy sources for six full days. Grade A+
The A.I. Threat: I predicted that there would be some type of security incident or threat created by A.I. Fortunately I was wrong about that. Grade: F
Overall, I feel like I deserve a B+ on my 2024 predictions. What do you think? Feel free to give me a grade in the comments. Come back on Tuesday for my #2025psychicpredictions!
Have a great Sunday, and thanks for reading! ~Phil
In December of 2023 I wrote my annual 2024 psychic predictions post. Unlike other psychics, I keep myself accountable and tell you about my results, good and bad. As my psychic predictions bring in about half my views each year, I want to let everyone know what I got right and what I got wrong so far this year. (Btw, keep in mind that some predictions are intended to be humorous.)
1. Is It The End of The World as We Know It?(And I feel fine) During 2023 and 2024 all the wars and political divisiveness make it seem like the end is very near. But I predicted that the Earth would survive this trip around the sun and so far I’ve been correct.
2. I predicted that curvy songstress Lizzo would trim down this year with an exercise regimen and a prescription for a semaglutide medication. I also predicted that she would become a celebrity spokesperson for one of the semaglutide weight loss medications. Was I right? I don’t know yet, but in an episode of South Park Cartman’s mother and friend were prescribed a weight loss medication named “Lizzo.” Here’s the video of her reaction:
She may not have become a spokesperson or admitted to using a semaglutide, but she was tied to it in pop culture and the news. I’m calling that a 50% win for my psychic powers. I saw it coming didn’t I? I was off on the details, but these are 2024 predictions and there’s still the rest of the year for me to be 100% right. I also predicted that she would date Pete Davidson. I’m really hoping I hit it on that one…
It’s possible that his horse may choose to kill him.
3. The war in Ukraine will end and…: Putin will pass away. My prediction is that he will pass away under suspicious circumstances that we will never get the real truth about.
4. The Royals! I predicted several things about the British royals and I’m doing well. I predicted that King Chuck will live through the year. Camilla has had some health issues but King Chuck seems fine. My second prediction was that there would be rumors of Prince William and Princess Kate having marital troubles. I nailed that one. There were indeed rumors of infidelity, but it turned out that Kate had avoided the public eye due to a serious medical condition. Lastly, I predicted that Prince Harry and Meghan will make up with the family, and they have, but the bigger part of my prediction is that they will choose to be a reality show so they can control the narrative about their lives.
5. Neither Biden nor Trump will become President: This one is going to be interesting as both candidates have serious obstacles. Biden’s poor debate showing has raised doubts, and Trump has a lot of legal issues that are clouding the picture right now.
6. 2024 will be the year of UFO’s: Everywhere across the world there will be more public and political acknowledgement that our world is regularly visited by beings from other worlds, leading to the discovery that Pete Davidson is an alien, but a nice one. This prediction was quickly followed only a week later with a news report that a Miami mall was shut down due to the presence of aliens. I call that a win. Also, just two days ago a UFO was reported over a Colorado outdoor concert venue. Pennsylvania has had close to 30 UFO sightings in the first half of the year, and a new BBCshow, Paranormal, focuses on UFO’s. I’m calling this a correct prediction on my part, as surely there will be even more UFO information in the next 6 months. I call all that as a win for my prediction.
7. Will 2024 be a landmark year for international climate cooperation? I predicted positive progress on this but I’m not feeling optimistic right now.
8. The A.I. threat: Is A.I. going to do something dangerous by acting on its own? That’s my prediction. A lot of online “experts” have also chimed in and believe A.I. will eventually do something catastrophic. Sorry to be a Debbie downer, and my apology to all the perfectly nice Debbie’s out there in the world, but I hope me and the online A.I. community are wrong about this one.
That’s it for now. I think my psychic noggin is hitting about 50% so far, but we still have the rest of the year and I’m feeling pretty good about my predictions. What do you think? And do you have any predictions you’d like to add in the comments?
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading. I knew you would!
Usually I only do psychic predictions year by year, but lately some visions of the distant future have been appearing in my brain.
Michel de Nostredame, aka Nostradamus, a French pharmacist, doctor, astrologer and future seeing psychic is renown for his cool name and predictions of the distant future. That’s never really been my thing, but lately I’ve been seeing glimpses of a future that may be very different than we might think. So, as a psychic, I’d like to leave a legacy like #Nostradamus did. Should I call myself Philstradamus from now on? Who am I kidding The Phil Factor is a great #psychic name!
Prediction #1: Aliens! In the not too distant future, the human race will learn to communicate with #aliens AND we will discover that the visitors in UFO/UAP spacecraft are not aliens. They are humans from the future. Physicists will discover that time travel is possible and the aliens are evolved humans from the future returning to learn about their history in much the same way that we do archeological digs.
If he was really psychic, he’d have known what a tragic fashion choice that hair was
Prediction #2: Parallel universes? Prediction number one may be slightly wrong. The aliens might be time traveling humans from the future, OR the present. We (and when I say we, I mean physicists) will discover that there are actually #parallel universes, and occasionally the fabric of reality between two universes wears thin or develops a hole, and things like UFOs and strange cryptid creatures may slip through and get stuck in our universe.
Prediction #3 Is it time to move? Weather phenomena, aka #climate change, will continue to result in more and more areas of the world becoming uninhabitable to humans. Several countries will reinvest in their neglected space exploration programs in an effort to find places where the human race can survive. The first will be an attempt to set up a permanent base on the moon with regular ‘shuttles’ to and from Earth. It will be first manned by only NASA/military personnel, but will eventually begin to work in civilians.

Prediction #4 What becomes of Russia? Sadly #Russia will eventually win this never ending war in #Ukraine, but not long after, Vladimir Putin will pass away under suspicious circumstances that will never be clear to the western media. Following a Russian cheer similar to “Ding dong the witch is dead,” the Russian government, at the urging of it’s citizens and the United Nations, will begin to craft itself into a democracy over the next few decades, and Ukraine will be restored whole as a sovereign nation.

Prediction #5 The Royal Family Look, I enjoy the soap opera that the British royals have put on forever, but by the end of this century they will be phased out. People will care less and less about bloodlines and more and more about breadlines. Normally I might throw in a few jokes about the royal family being aliens, but I’m making serious predictions here. Although, if #King Chuck lives as long as his mum, we may want to check to see if they really are aliens.
Image from Quora.com
Prediction #6 Us and them? In the distant future, sometime after 2060, the Earth will be split into two kinds of people. There will be the Techies, who embrace all that technology brings us, sometimes to the point that they give up their autonomy to the A.I. machines. The second kind of people will be the Green Earthers. They will shun most technology, with the exception of solar electricity and will try to live their lives the way people did before technology controlled everything.
Just because I usually make jokes, that doesn’t mean that I can’t be serious about these #psychicpredictions. Psychics can have a sense of humor too! In the comments, I’d love to know you’re thoughts on these predictions.
On Christmas I gave my gift to the world, i.e. my annual psychic predictions blog post. If you are too busy to read that now, I’ll tell you a little about it.
Annually I publish psychic predictions focusing on celebrities, the Royals, and big picture stuff going on in the world. Some predictions are intentionally funny while others are serious prognostications. This year I did something different at the end of my predictions.
What I did, that I’ve never done before, was to invite people to comment and ask me questions that they want me to answer psychically. I was expecting questions like, “Which team will win the Super Bowl?” or “Will Russia use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine war?” or “Will I win the lottery this year?”. I was completely flabbergasted at the responses I got. Not because there was a lot of them, but because of the nature of the questions.
When I think I’ve written a good blog post, which I always think about my psychic predictions, in addition to publishing it to WordPress, I will share it to Twitter and my author page on Facebook. Facebook gives you the option of paying money to “boost” your post so more people see it higher up in their feeds. $3.00 I boosted my psychic predictions post for a day.
What surprised me was that a decent number of people messaged me through my Facebook author page asking me to answer very personal questions about themselves. Also, several of them sent me their full names with middle initials and dates of birth. Not only did they send me their information, some gave the same detailed information about other people in their lives that they had questions about.
If anyone reading this is considering speaking to a psychic on the phone, online, or in person, please do not volunteer that much detail and personal information until you have vetted the psychic. Check out their website and check out local Yelp reviews.
Also, here is a good article that can help you to determine between the good psychics and the scammers.
It is truly wonderful that so many people have so much trust in strangers on the internet, and I wish that all internet strangers were kind and honest. Sadly that is not the world we live in.
Yes, I believe that some people have psychic abilities, but there are also some bad people out there who are taking advantage of people’s hopes, dreams, and heartbreak. If you believe in the paranormal and psychic things, please be careful when you pursue answers and be wary of the people offering them.
I could answer peoples questions all day, but I think reminding people to be more careful with their personal information and money so they don’t get ripped off is the best thing I could tell anyone.
The paragraph below is from my “End of The World” post that I wrote in 2009 and scheduled to go live on my blog the day after the world was supposed to end in 2012.
“See? I told you so! I wrote this post on Oct. 13, 2009 and dated it to be released to the blog on Dec. 22, 2012, the day after the Mayan calendar ended and the world was supposed to end. If you’re reading this post, apparently that didn’t happen. So suck on that you Mayan calendar nutjobs.”
As always, Psychic Phil got this one right. Stay tuned for my 2023 psychic predictions coming up on Tuesday December 26th! If there is anything that you’d like a psychic prediction about, put your question in the comments.
I hate to say I told you so. OK, no I don’t. I love to say I told you so.
Remember my January 1st post My Psychic Predictions for 2017? If not feel free to click that link and read it. Go ahead. I’ll wait. ………..You back? Good. See? On January 1st of this year I predicted that Princess Kate would get pregnant again and the world will lose it’s collective minds when we find out it’s twins. The rumors are out there that it is twins. I’ve got the first half right. Time will tell if I nailed the landing.
Also just to update my other predictions at the halfway point in the year:
The world did not end, exactly as I predicted.
People will lose interest in the Kardashians: Who? Exactly!
The United Kingdom will try to #UnBrexit: The most recent election results were underwhelming for Prime Minister Theresa May, indicating that the public is not happy with her leadership. There is published speculation that England my try to reverse this colossal blunder. Sounds like Psychic Phil may have nailed this one too. BTW, #unBrexit is a hashtag on Twitter just as I predicted it would be 6 months ago. You’re welcome.
Kim Kardashian will fall for another: She’s still married to Kanye, but how long can this possibly go on? Apparently not for much longer according to this article from May which seems to indicate I got this prediction right too.
Donald Trump will resign from the Presidency: I predicted this weeks before he even took office. Doesn’t seem so far fetched now does it?
Celebrity Deaths: Not that I’m rooting to be right on these, but Betty White, Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee, and Queen Elizabeth. Rumors have been swirling about the Queen’s health…
Well? What do you think? It seems like my psychic predictions are all looking pretty good so far. Should I start a separate psychic predictions blog?
Have a great Friday! ( I know you will. Well, not you. I was talking to her over on the left) ~Phil

As I said in my last blog post, the new Pope needed to have a social media presence. Three months ago, Pope Leo was on
