We’re currently in the year of the dragon (2024), which happens every 12 years. In dragon years, we often see sweeping changes in leadership, governance, and massive cultural shifts. So let’s take a look at two dragon years when we had elections.
1988: Bush vs. Dukakis
So if you go back to 1988, the year of the earth dragon, we saw an unexpected landslide where Michael Dukakis was ahead 17 points by Halloween. That was the first election I actually used astrology on. And when I predicted Bush would win, everyone was like, “Oh, William, drop that astrology stuff. Dukakis is gonna win,” right? Then, boom—Bush won by a landslide. Even California went red! The only one that didn’t go red in the blue wall was Wisconsin, and Dukakis barely won Wisconsin. So we saw this unexpected landslide in the election.
2000: Bush vs. Gore
The next dragon year, 12 years later, was the 2000 election recount, Bush vs. Gore. Now this was unexpected because Bush was expected to win and win really big. And what happened was the outcome of the race was unknown for several weeks due to disputes over close vote totals in Florida. The Green Party candidate, Ralph Nader, received two million votes, but no electoral votes. So this sounds very similar to what was happening with RFK. He wasn’t going to win a state, but he was gaining traction.
Gore won DC; however, one elector did not cast a vote for him on January 6th. Interesting, right? Hint, hint. Maybe that’ll happen, we’ll see. There have only been five elections—1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016—where the popular vote winner was defeated. So Gore won the popular vote, but he lost Florida. He needed Florida to win. So what happened is they had missing Chads, and this was going on for weeks. Eventually, the Florida Supreme Court said they would recount all 6 million ballots and decide the election. Then the US Supreme Court overrides, says, “No, we’re not doing any recount. Bush wins. He wins by 537 votes,” which is insane, right? And by the way, later, the Chicago Opinion Research Center did a complete recount of all six million ballots, and Gore won by over 10,000 votes. So he would have won the election.
Now I’m not saying that will happen, but what I’m getting is that, during the year of dragon, we saw unexpected outcomes. We saw third party people getting more votes than they normally get. And we saw one state—if it’s a close race—determine the election. Bush and Gore both had to win Florida—this is how tight it was. So it ended up going over to Bush, but they never really counted the votes. They did a recount in just in one or two counties, and said that’s it. Bush wins. So these are scenarios that we have to be watchful for.
Current Political Landscape: Bellwether States
Now, let’s go back to the Bellwether States. What we’re seeing is that Florida, Ohio, and Nevada could go red, and Pennsylvania we don’t know. We already know New Hampshire is going blue, Colorado is going super blue, and New Mexico is leaning blue. The more states that lean one way, the clearer the indicator of who’s going to win. Right now, Democrats know they’re in trouble. They’ve got to flip Pennsylvania to catch up.
The Solar Eclipse and Its Impact
We also had this great solar eclipse, and unexpected developments often follow. Anything that gets hit by the shadow of the eclipse, for the remainder of the year up to a year and a half forward, sees unpredictable developments. So this eclipse goes not only through Pennsylvania, but the area of Pennsylvania where Trump was shot. It also goes through this key county of Pennsylvania that will determine the outcome of the election.
So this is what I’m getting at here. Could we see a Florida happen in Pennsylvania? We’re going to have one of two scenarios: either Trump blows out Kamala or Kamala barely squeaks by because she wins Wisconsin and Michigan—even though Trump technically wins Pennsylvania. Even though it looks like he won but then they’re disputing the count—that type of thing. I’m not saying that’s what’s going to happen, I’m just trying to point out possible scenarios.
The Importance of Pennsylvania
Historically, whoever wins two out of the three states—Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania—wins the election. Except in 2000, this has been true for over a hundred years. Trump knows that. His margin of error is growing—he just needs to win one. And If you go back like three months, Trump’s been winning this state. In Kamala’s case, she has to win all three. There’s no electoral pathway for Kamala without Pennsylvania. She must win decisively there. So this is why Pennsylvania is so crucial. It’s the tipping point state in 2024. When I look at the eclipse and the fact that Pennsylvania has only missed twice in its Bellwether history, it makes me wonder what’s going on.
Unpredictable Election Outcomes
So the question is, is there something in the astrology that can flip the probability of Kamala winning all three of these states? I’m telling you right now, this is not decisive. Something radical has to happen. It looks like the deep state or somebody could try and pull a scenario like this, except it won’t be Florida this time. Florida will go red, for sure. It’s gonna either be Pennsylvania or Michigan. We don’t know. So we could see a delay with the result. We’re really in unknown territory.
