Foreword
The predictions made in this post are based on my papers on the subject of political and economic forecasting that have been published in the British peer-reviewed research journal Correlation in 2002 and 2004. These papers are cited at the end of this article.
In Forecasting Political and Economic Cycles(2002, p.17), I predicted that “Political and economic activity in the 21st century will likely be a reverse of the 20th century, beginning with two successive periods of economic recession, recovery, and prosperity in the first two decades, followed by three periods of recession, depression, and global warfare in the last eight decades of the century.” This forecast has come true to date. The predictions made in this post are an elaboration of that earlier general forecast.
Fear of an apocalyptic end of the world is due to a misinterpretation of Matthew 24:3 in the Bible, resulting from its translation from Greek into English. The King James Version has ‘end of the world’ and the New International Version has ‘end of the age’. According to science, the world will continue to support life for another billion years, climate change notwithstanding.
Introduction
The forecasting method that I have developed is based on correlations between solar system waves and activities on Earth, and not on projections. As such, its predictions are equally accurate and precise in both the near and distant future. My forecasting method has a range of over 3,000 years into the future with current computer programs, with a resolution (precision) of one year on the scale of a century. This precision limits the number of planets that can be included in the correlations to the five planets of the outer solar system (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.)
First, some definitions: A wave is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles. A standing (stationary) wave is one in which the wave pattern does not move. A cycle is one complete period of a wave. A tone is a sound that is produced by a standing wave.
In the following explanations, the term ‘wave’ means ‘standing wave,’ and the terms ‘wave’ and ‘tone’ are used synonymously.
The solar system is a gigantic electromagnetic wave generator. It is a radio transmitter that transmits electromagnetic energy throughout the solar system, including the Earth, at extremely low frequencies (less than 4 cycles per year).
Waves carry energy (the ability to do work), and wave energy is proportional to frequency. The fact that the frequency of orbiting planets is extremely low has been used as an argument to discount the energy of planet waves. But energy is also proportional to amplitude, and the amplitude of orbiting planets is huge, so the energy of orbiting planets may actually be quite considerable.
As a planet orbits the sun, it generates a nearly-circular standing wave (tone) in the electrically-charged interplanetary medium (solar wind) emanating from the Sun. Multiply that by nine planets, plus the Moon, and you have a symphony of tones.
The Greek mathematician Pythagoras called this symphony ‘musica universalis’ (music of the spheres). The German astronomer Johannes Kepler suggested that the planets of the solar system produced tones as they orbited the Sun. Tones are produced by standing waves.
The collective unconscious mind of humanity appears to be correlated with these extremely low frequency planetary tones. As one person has stated, “The solar system is a musical instrument, and we are dancing to its tune.”
We danced to its tune during World War I and World War II in the 20th century. That is how powerful this tune can be. And we are going to dance to its tune again in the 2030, 2060 and 2090 decades of this century. The war in Ukraine is a prelude to that dance.
Method
Let’s have a look at how my forecasting method works.
There are two types of circular standing waves: Fundamental waves and harmonic waves. Let’s look at each type of wave in turn.
Fundamental Waves
The fundamental wave of a planet is the wave of lowest frequency, and it is generated by the planet’s orbit through space. One orbit equals one complete cycle of the fundamental wave.
An analogy would be to rub one’s finger in a circular motion around the rim of an empty wine glass. At a particular frequency, the circular motion causes the particles of the glass to resonate, producing a tone in the glass. The finger represents a planet, the circular motion represents the planet’s orbit, and the glass represents the solar wind.
The sum of the outer planets’ fundamental waves is called the complex fundamental wave (CFW). Waves that are in the same phase (same half cycle) are added to the complex fundamental wave, and waves that are in the opposite phase (opposite half cycle) are subtracted from it. This is called the superposition principle of wave interference.
Harmonic Waves
A harmonic wave (overtone) is a wave of higher frequency. It occurs when a planet (representing a node, or a point of zero amplitude) forms an angle with another planet that is a whole-number division of a circle (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, etc.), inducing a node in the other planet’s fundamental wave, creating a harmonic wave.
An analogy would be to touch a vibrating guitar string lightly at the twelfth fret (equal to 1/2 the string length) with one’s finger, creating a node in the string and a harmonic tone that is double the frequency (an octave) of the fundamental tone.
The planets of the solar system are continuously generating harmonic waves as they orbit the Sun. These waves are correlated with annual human activity. Similar harmonic waves often occur several years in a row, accompanied by similar human activity several years in a row.
Some of these waves belong to the first-harmonic wave series. These include the first (1/1), second (1/2) and fourth (1/4) harmonics, and they are negative waves. They are correlated with recession, depression and warfare on Earth.
Some of these waves belong to the third-harmonic wave series. These include the third (1/3) and sixth (1/6) harmonics, and they are positive waves. They are correlated with peace, economic growth and prosperity on Earth.
There are other harmonic wave series, but the first-harmonic wave series and the third-harmonic wave series are the main ones that we need to consider.
Graph
By computing the complex fundamental wave and harmonic waves of the five outer planets of the solar system in the future, and by plotting these waves together on a multicolor graph, it is possible to make predictions about future human activity and biological activity that are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (.05 significance level). That is equivalent to a probability of 19 times out of 20.
A screenshot of the graph below shows the annual complex fundamental wave (CFW) and harmonic waves generated by the outer solar system from 1900 through 2100. The CFW was computed using the planet ephemeris generator in Solar Fire version 9 (v9) published by Astrolabe Inc. Harmonic waves were computed using the planet transit-to-transit calculator in Solar Fire v9. The graph was produced using the spreadsheet utility in Microsoft Works, which is more suitable for this application than Microsoft Excel.
The graph is divided at the left y-axis into three horizontal regions labelled Global (War), International (War) and National (War). The graph is divided at the right y-axis into two horizontal regions labelled Depression (Potential) and Recession (Potential). Years are shown on the x-axis.
The CFW is shown as a line graph. Harmonic waves are shown as a 100% stacked bar graph, weighted proportional to amplitude, one bar per year. First-, second-, fourth-, sixth- and third-harmonic waves are labelled War/Pandemic, Depression/Epidemic, Recession/Outbreak, Peace/Growth and Boom/Prosperity, respectively. The annual intersection of the CFW and a harmonic wave represents the average or prevailing condition to be expected in that year.
Note the close alignment between historical events and planet waves during the Progressive Era, World War I, the Spanish Influenza pandemic, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the 1980s boom, the 1990s recession, the Great Recession of 2007-2009, the 2010s prosperity, and the 2020s wars and recessions.
Note also the years 1918, 1981 and 2020, corresponding to the heights of the Spanish Influenza, AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics, respectively.
The elevation of the CFW in the graph is correlated with the regional extent of warfare: Upper third – national/civil warfare; middle third – international warfare; lower third – global warfare. The lower the elevation of the CFW in the graph, the more widespread and intense the warfare will be.
The CFW was in the upper half of the graph of the 21st century in the 2000 and 2010 decades, indicating relatively buoyant times during those decades. (The Great Recession of 2007-2009 was due to negative harmonic waves.)
The CFW will be in the lower half of the graph for most of the rest of the century. This indicates that warfare will be at the international or global level of engagement for most of this century. International warfare is currently intensifying and becoming more widespread.
What’s Happening Now
The CFW has been dropping since 2019, and it will continue to drop until 2027. The CFW is like a barometer that registers air pressure – the lower it goes, the rougher the weather that can be expected. But this is not the whole story. The elevation of the CFW is correlated with regional extent. The harmonic wave series determines whether times will be good or bad.
In 2020 the outer solar system began generating a series of negative harmonic waves, correlated with the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-present), the Russo-Ukraine War (2022-present), and the Israel-Hamas War (2023-present). These biological and human activities will prevail through the year 2026.
The period 2020-26 will also be a period of increased seismic activity (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis).
Positive third-harmonic-series waves will increase from 2025 to 2028, peaking in 2027. My prediction: Peace will be established in Ukraine and in Gaza in 2027. There will be global economic growth and a real estate boom in 2027 and 2028.
However, world peace will be short-lived, because the harmonic waves become negative again in the 2030 decade. My prediction: The world will witness a gradual descent toward global warfare from 2030 to 2035, culminating in World War III.
Think back to the Biblical time of Joseph in Egypt in Genesis 41:25-27, and the seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. The same harmonic wave principle applied then as it does today.
The level of resolution of this methodology is one year on the scale of one century. I cannot predict in advance which nations will go to war, although I have a methodology in mind to do this. At present, I can only predict when warfare is likely to occur, and whether it will be at the national, international or global level of engagement.
However, it seems pretty obvious that the combatants in a forthcoming global war will be capitalist nations versus communist nations – in other words, NATO versus the communist bloc, which includes the Russian Federation, China and North Korea, and possibly Iran. That is how these nations are currently aligning themselves.
Long Term Predictions of War
There will be three global wars in this century: World War III (2035-38), World War IV (2058-61) and World War V (2093-98). These global wars will not be as severe as World War I (1914-18) or World War II (1939-45), but the possibility of nuclear warfare could result in more deaths during these wars than during World War I or World War II.
There will be five periods of major international warfare in this century: From 2022 through 2026, from 2030 through 2034, from 2045 through 2054, from 2079 through 2082, and from 2085 through 2086. International warfare in 2085-86 will border on global warfare.
Peace will be established in Ukraine and in Gaza in 2027.
Long Term Predictions of Economy
With the exception of the 2070 decade, I do not foresee any extended periods of global economic growth during the rest of this century. There will only be economic growth for a year or two now and then. The best time this century from both a political and economic perspective will be the 2070 decade.
The years of economic growth or prosperity in the remainder of this century will be: 2027-28, 2044, 2046, 2049, 2055-56, 2064, 2068, 2071-72, 2074-75, 2077-78, 2084, 2087 and 2091-92.
The years of economic downturn or recession in the remainder of this century will be: 2025, 2029-31, 2034, 2036, 2039, 2041-43, 2045, 2047-48, 2050-51, 2054, 2057, 2059, 2062-63, 2065, 2067, 2069-70, 2073, 2076, 2079-81, 2083, 2088-90, 2095, 2097 and 2099.
Long Term Predictions of Pandemics
In 1981, at the height of the global AIDS epidemic, there were three first-harmonic waves. In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were five first-harmonic waves. We won’t see five first-harmonic waves again for the rest of this century, but there will be a number of years with three first-harmonic waves.
The risk of an epidemic or pandemic will be extreme in 2033, 2045, 2053-54, 2066, 2070, 2074, 2082, 2086, 2093 and 2094.
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-present will be the most severe pandemic of this century.
The 2020 Decade
In 2024 there will be an escalation of international warfare and an increase in pandemic.
In 2025 warfare and pandemic will be in a holding pattern, accompanied by international economic recession.
In 2026 there will be an escalation of international warfare and an increase in pandemic.
In 2027 and 2028 there will be peace and economic growth, and a decrease in pandemic.
In 2029 there will be international economic recession, and an increase in pandemic.
The 2030 Decade
Beginning in 2030 there will be progressive escalation of international warfare, particularly in 2032 and 2033. This escalating international warfare will be in a holding pattern in 2034, but it will become global warfare from 2035 through 2038. Warfare will continue in 2039 and 2040, but at the international level rather than the global level of engagement.
The risk of an epidemic or pandemic will be extreme in 2033.
Annual Predictions
The table below summarizes my annual predictions for the remainder of the 21st century. Warfare occurs somewhere in the world every year, but if it is not included in this table, it should not be too serious.

Conclusion
Michael Blake Read (1938-2013) was a Canadian trance psychic and president of Michael Blake Read Consulting Ltd. in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada. Michael stated that warfare will be with us for another two thousand years. By the year 4000, the concept of war will no longer be known, and our civilization will make great strides forward.
The implication of Michael’s prediction for the future is that humanity will survive both the climate barrier (global warming) and the uranium barrier (nuclear self-destruction).
