The artist chose to paint swans, yet didn’t know that it was the Year of The Swan in 2020. Just a coincidence? Article by Perth Happenings - Artist Amok Island
In April 2020, a new program released by PBS in April on Carrol's Wild Life. Carrol Henderson's work has involved helping The Trumpeter Swan recover for 40 years. It is interesting that the Year of Swan placed a brighter, more meaningful spotlight on his work on swans, by the airing of a program - just a coincidence?
Introduction
Last year on the 8th of March, 2020, I wrote a prediction for that particular year titled 'Year of the Swan' - it was also the Year of the Lake I said. I also said it was The Year of Sapphires and governed/favored blue gems and that we would start a new 12 year shift, which often begins with it, changes and disruptions around the world (reflecting 2008 as that was the last previous shift, as it was 12 years ago). It is important to keep in mind every 12 years there will be shift, as we start another 12 year cycle all over again. This 12 year pattern repeats continuously throughout my calendar. This is what is more famously regarded as the 12 animals.
I said many things, I covered negative trends to do with men in position of power and predicted positive female leadership. I covered some more negative aspects, such as desert countries, hotter countries and I was worried about people of those countries (desert people) and whom were associated with it.
I also included yellow as the most unluckiest colour for 2020, which later on after prediction, turned out to be correct in some way. It was the colour used all throughout America and the Black Lives Matter road murals. Was this also a coincidence when I mentioned this colour back in March 2020?
In addition I spoke about, what elements on the Periodic Table were the luckiest and unluckiest. I especially noted my concern on Gold which I was also worried about in 2020.
Additionally, I correctly predicted, well in advance (March 2020), the unexpected prosperity of Copper, Nickel and Aluminum as revealed in the financial markets, towards the end of 2020, where they unexpectedly became a success. At the time of mentioning these elements they had slumped in the markets considerably due to the coronavirus onset, so it was gutsy to make this particular prediction. It certainly wasn’t a coincidence when later towards end of year, these elements turned out to be stars of the show.
I also correctly predicted and mentioned the unlucky elements Potassium and Nitrogen which appeared later on in the Beirut Explosion of August, 2020. That was six months after prediction!
This was a mixture of the two elements as the one chemical called Potassium Nitrate which caused the catastrophe.
Do you still think what I said just now was just a coincidence? Certainly not, as already I’ve mentioned so many things I got right!
I even pointed out the more positive influence of a lake in the world, the luck of the swan, certain creatures and projects/industries which would be beneficial, and many more aspects which I won’t go into.
Lets inspect some of the aspects highlighted in my predictions last year in March 2020.
And before deciding as a skeptic, to make any unsavory remarks, please read my article from tip to toe, before you decide to make an assessment (an open minded one of course, which you are so terribly good at).
Indeed, as I write this, it has been quite a task, as there were many things I predicted in 2020 in my Swan article and there were many things that happened in the year of 2020. I have not addressed all aspects that I predicted, just the most outstanding ones. It was also published around the time Covid-19 had just come out, in the media.
New 12 Year Shift in 2020
I mentioned in my article, that we started a new 12 year cycle in the year of 2020.
That’s right, you should try to get use to it, as every 12 years we start a new decade consisting of 12 years (repeatedly) through time, over and over again and again we start 12 year cycles. I know it sounds a bit mundane, but this is ultimately what occurs..
It is not so hard to get use to, when you think about the number 12 and how it is part of our every day world; as there are 12 hours on a clock, 12 astrological signs, 12 is a bakers dozen, 12 months in year, even Jesus selected 12 apostles and today jury often consist of 12 members.
The beginning of the last 12 year cycle was in 2008 (we all know the economic decline we experienced in that year, even you skeptics felt it, as these new shifts caused disruptions and changes).
This new 12 year cycle, was my possible explanation for a turbulent year in 2020 and the onset of the coronavirus. To read more about how I measure time and cycles, and what the coronavirus and lungs represent from an astrological perspective, you can read my article ‘Cycles of the Universe’, which I published last year, in an attempt to explain it.
The Mexicans are on to it! They read ‘Cycles of the Universe’ many times. It was interesting to them and was shared numerous times on Facebook last year.
Anyway, lets look back on my article for 2020 - Year of the Swan.
Power Status of Leaders in 2020
One of the things I mentioned in March 2020, was that men in power would not be as lucky as women in power throughout the world in 2020. Here is as snippet of what I posted a year ago in that article, in regards to this energy:
It was a very general statement and paragraph; it didn't mean every man in power would be unlucky, however, that men in power would stand out in some way and perhaps not be as lucky. Did this happen? Yes it did. The name to mention here, in regards to this unlucky male leadership, is quite obvious and that was 'Trump' - he lost his election, he is not President of America anymore and was replaced by Biden.
Not only was he replaced, yet his replacement in 2020 involved grand display of violence and protests not seen in America for over a hundred years as well as many executions, which we had also not seen in America for decades.
Another very great male leader that stood out in the world, with trouble around him, was China's leader, Xi Jinping, as he tackled Covid-19, as we saw it emerge from his country first (or so the media says, as there are some who believe this virus, may have started in another country, due to other research claims).
Nevertheless the leader of the CCP was faced with more conflict this year than others years, when considering the disagreements with his neighbors , all throughout 2020.
We saw the CCP leader’s conflict with neighboring countries, such as India, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia and America, as heavily reflected in the media in 2020, as a primary focus. These issues unfolded as 2020 progressed and still progressing into 2021.
So when I stated in early March 2020 “men in power may not be as lucky, in fact they could be unlucky” - I was literally right about that, as 2020 unfolded and progressed.
Perhaps there may be more mitigation, cooperation or unification between countries in 2021? Yet that doesn’t mean no war will start soon.
The other powerful men, whom had great troubles in 2020, were Prince Andrew (with court-case scandals), Julian Assange (extradition fight which was also very big in 2020) and Russian politician Alexei Navalny (whom was very suspiciously poisoned and imprisoned due to political conflict).
We start a new cycle every 12 years which is always marked by the Year of Swan, as I’ve said before, there is always a lot of change in the world and major drama, when this happens.
As we started a new 12 year cycle in 2020 (the last one was 12 years ago, back in 2008) we also entered at the same time in 2020, a new 36 year phase (a rare double whammy effect) in 2020. As we started two big new phases, at the same time! These phases are explained in more detail in Cycles of the Universe.
This new 36 year phase (starting in 2020) is a new 'mountain' energy which favors countries with red flags and are mountainous with a lot of terrain (like China), so even though Xi Jinping may have had a difficult year in 2020, his country should become more powerful and prosperous over the next 36 years.
This also includes other countries which are strongly associated with the mountain element, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Tibet, Himalayas etc.. we may see them rise or become more opportunistic or powerful.
Who was the women in power that stood out in 2020, whom was supposed to be luckier?
I said in 2020 women in position of power would have more luck or stand out more favorably. My exact words were again as follows:
The name to mention here in regards to this positive influence I described, is 'Jacinda Adern' the Prime Minister of New Zealand - she has been an exemplary leader in 2020 and stood out in the media quite brightly. She was ranked as most compassionate and eloquent world wide leader in 2020. This was four months after my prediction in 2020.
Also according to research done by Lowry Institute, the country which had the best performance world-wide during Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, was New Zealand at the top of the list, as seen below. It is interesting to note, in a world where there is still emphasis to male leaders, these statistics reveal, not just New Zealand at the top, yet Taiwan coming 3rd and Iceland scoring 7th. Both these countries also have female leaders.
In regards to going to back to what I said about younger ladies, beautiful ladies standing out and luck being on their side more in 2020…
As mentioned earlier, NZ Prime Minister whom topped the world with her handling of the coronavirus - Jacinda Adern.
We also had Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an Australian academic, who was released from prison in Iran where she was unfairly held, for over 2 years, under horrendous conditions. I had known about her case for the last few years and was hoping The Year of the Swan would benefit her. Every couple of weeks, throughout 2020, I was googling her name to see if there was any progress. She was eventually released in November 2020.
Again, this fits in with what I said about a more positive energy around influential women and beautiful women in 2020.
There was also another women whom benefited from The Year of the Swan and that was Princess Haya (seen in the picture below), whom fled to the UK from Dubai to seek independence from her husband.
She won custody of her children in a high profile UK court battle during 2020. Her children will remain with her there and not be sent back to Dubai.
This again fits in with what I said in 2020, that a princess could stand out and my reference to more positive effects around beautiful women in this year, as seen in the excerpt below.
Another lady which stood out in 2020 and succeeded in her goals, or where the situated benefited her, whom is not a princess, but yet regal enough and with good looks, was her highness Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. This happened when she and her husband The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, moved to America in March 2020 and became no longer full time members of the royal household.
Another interesting comment I made for the Swan Year of 2020, was about a Queen. My exact words were:
In October 2020, 7 months after prediction, Queen Elizabeth chose to wear her King George Blue Sapphire jewelry collection for a RARE Canadian official photograph, as pictured below.
It seems I was right about my comment about her majesty and it really is incredibly inspiring to see her majesty in this photograph, as her eyes themselves look in beauty and splendor, just like blue sapphires.
Because her majesty was the only Queen to appear like this in 2020 with her blue sapphires, means that she really is the most pure Queen of all and that her power stretches further than you think.
In general, I believed Blue sapphires were the luckiest gem stone for 2020 and could stand out more, as seen in the excerpts below:
Sapphires stood out at Christie’s in November 2020, as mentioned in the Forbes Magazine posted on the 9th of December 2020. See below, where the article states, four of the top six items sold were exceptional blue sapphires.
![Forbes Magazine 'Harry Winston Purchases 42-Carat Sapphire' [Article by Anthony DeMarco]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a2552e4b0c979055d6fba/1613871422457-OMWOY3Y61073N0AFAQ4J/Sapphire+forbes+magazi.PNG)
And we also had Forbes Magazine release another article not long before (3 August 2020), about a watch made of blue sapphire crystal, as seen below.
![Forbes Magazine ‘Girard-Perregaux Watch'‘ [Article by Anthony DeMarco]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a2552e4b0c979055d6fba/1613872016623-PZ4E8R2OB6GEEMJ5FS93/sapphire+watch.PNG)
Previsouly, a blue sapphire led the Sotheby’s Hong Kong auction, as seen in the Forbes article below, in October 2020.
![Forbes Magazine ‘118.8-Carat Burmese Royal Blue Sapphire Leads Sotheby’s Hong Kong Auction [Article by Anthony DeMarco]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a2552e4b0c979055d6fba/1613873076828-EB7NYWR25X1ZVYBKG53M/Sapphire+lead+hong+kong+auction.PNG)
Even though I said I was worried about Diamonds, the author Anthony DeMarco, lists a diamond here as well as one of the top pieces, however it is a blue diamond and as I predicted, blue was one of the luckiest colors for 2020. So it was interesting to see it there.
![Forbes Magazine ‘118.8-Carat Burmese Royal Blue Sapphire Leads Sotheby’s Hong Kong Auction [Article by Anthony DeMarco]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a2552e4b0c979055d6fba/1613873366193-N1SLUED93RZ0SNGI7U9J/blue+diamond.PNG)
I also saw Green Emeralds as potentially lucrative, just see below what I said in March 2020 in the excerpt:
Yet again we see Forbes Magazine confirm that for us, that I was right about a Cartier Green Emerald. It sold for over 3 times its value at Sotheby’s, at $3.6 million in December 2020. See below as it is featured in the following article.
![Forbes Magazine ‘Cartier Emerald And Diamond Ring Fetches $3.6 Million At Sotheby’s [Article by Anthony DeMarco]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a2552e4b0c979055d6fba/1613874765101-BH91ENRV8H4FNN89F3D8/Forbes+Emerald.PNG)
As well as Blue Sapphires, I also pointed out the luck of other blue stones in 2020.
As seen below, 2020 brought us the biggest Tanzanite Stone ever to be discovered. It is a blue colored sapphire looking jewel. You can read about the find here - The real story of the world’s biggest tanzanite find - The Mail & Guardian (mg.co.za). To find out more on what a Tanzanite is, go to Geology.com.
The Tanzanite stone found in the Mererani hills of Tanzania (even though a very hot region), was found in an area surrounded by many lakes. It fits in with the luck around blue stones predicted for that year.
Someone else whom was strongly associated with a sapphire, was con-artist Melissa Caddick.
She has been named 'con-artist of the 20th century' a women whom mysteriously went into hiding towards the end of the Swan year, before she was charged with running a Ponzi scheme and ripping off customers, 20 million dollars. Before this, she lived a luxurious mega-star life style.
When I was predicting women in power or of influence last year, would stand out in 2020, I also admitted that it may not all necessarily be the positive side.
I also said word for word, attractive women or powerful women will have more luck hiding their money, more than men in power hiding their money (as seen in the excerpt below).
We can see that certainly Melissa Caddick successfully hid her money well, as she has been missing three months, the police can’t find her and the 20 million dollars has vanished. ASIC is yet to formally place charges against her.
What is surprising here, as well predicting that blue sapphires were the luckiest gemstone for 2020 and could stand out, this particular women and her sapphire necklace, stood out too, quite significantly in the news, as seen below (Daily Mail UK).
I suppose The Swan Year worked for her, as she has not been found yet and she still is perhaps holding onto all those millions.
I cannot guarantee the effects will last, as she flaunted a black sapphire and I strictly said only blue sapphires were the most auspicious.
She is also wearing the luckiest colour of the year for 2020 (as seen in the above picture taken last year) I mentioned, and that is a deep blue tone.
This also fits in with another statement I said for 2020, that the Swan Year wants to purify itself and reveal the truth. If you are powerful it would not be good to keep on telling lies and if you didn’t want to change, it would be best to hide.. We can see how the Swan Year exposed this women, after many years.. Have a look at the excerpt I wrote last year, which fits in with all this.
I was worried about media, journalism and the internet. Here is my excerpt from last year:
We had throughout 2020 the new media code, a new law causing significant effects on Google, forcing it to pay advertising money to publishing companies/journalist, as seen below.
Bad Luck to do with the ‘People of the Desert’
Overall, in general, I also said that people of the desert and of hotter countries may not do as well in 2020 and they should keep low profile and not make any major decisions as they were in opposition to the lake element, of 2020. Again here is snippet of what I said in my article:
We saw Oil prices plunge to multi-year lows as conflicts rose between Russia and Saudi Arabia. The news said oil plunges 24% for worst day since 1991 in April 2020 a month after I wrote this. In October 2020, CNBC stated in the news ‘S&P expects Dubai’s debt load to worsen, doesn’t see pre-pandemic recovery until 2023’
We had the Black Lives Matter protests (it makes sense as black people are ethnically and symbolically close to hotter countries and deserts, due to ancestry). The below historical site mentions how black people, do not need to be fully covered in the desert to be protected from the sun. Because of this I believe they are the true desert people more than any other race.
Often these yearly forces express themselves symbolically and not always literal. We had half a million people come out to protest on June the 6th, 2020 around the Black Lives Matter Protests.
Very violent and big protests and groups of dark people in America coming together, which reminded us strongly of the ever-present racism still existing in their country. The people ‘of the desert’ as I said were not lucky in 2020 as evident in these protests.
I also mentioned that one of the unluckiest colors in 2020 was yellow, as seen in the below excerpt:
We all know that the 'Black Lives Matter' giant street mural that was painted in Washington, stood out so much as it was a bright yellow. This mural was copied all over America in various cities and places. Again this yellow colour confirmed the bad luck of some of "desert" people in 2020. The reason why I knew yellow would be unlucky in 2020, is because it is a true desert color governed by the desert and sun (in my system). So if deserts and hotter countries and its people were going to be unlucky in 2020, then the color of the desert (yellow) would also follow and be part of that. And that is why I mentioned it as an unlucky colour.
While people may argue with me and say the Black Lives Matter turned out to be a positive occurrence. Yet really, symbolically it is about a negative occurrence, and denotes aspects of oppositional elements for 2020 which I highlighted. It brings awareness on a something very wrong and negative going on a long time, and that is racism.
I also said in 2020 we were still in opposition to the fire element in the weather again..
I said for 2020, we were still very much in opposition to the fire element like the year before. Likewise, back at the beginning of 2019, I also predicted ‘moving fire’ as the most oppositional element. Later that year in 2019 we had the Amazon fires, the Californian fires and the Australian bushfires.
In 2020, I also predicted fire as another oppositional and unlucky element, again.
Again we had massive fires unpresented in California again during 2020. It was the biggest according to them in modern history.
But what I was more concerned about with fire in the year 2020, was ‘heat’ and heat in the weather. I even wrote the word ‘HEAT’ in capitals (as seen in the excerpt above) as I was very sure, it would not be favorable. I said this many times through out my Year of Swan article in 2020, just look at the excerpt below":
Did this happen?
According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, 2020 had it’s hottest on record with the second highest heat levels in a 141 year climate record.
In fact over the next 36 years from now, I predict cooler weather occurring and to you as scientists it will feel unexpected. After the 36 period ends, it will get even colder.
Unlucky elements I predicted for 2020
It is important to realize, I do not have any insider knowledge of the stock exchange or the markets. My prediction on the elements are purely based on my own unique astrology.
In March 2020, I predicted in my Year of the Swan article, unlucky elements on the Periodic Table for that year. The first two I listed were Nitrogen 7 and Potassium 19 (as seen above in the excerpt).
I listed them first as they were the two most unluckiest for that year.
Five months later we had the Beirut Explosion which was basically caused from a chemical stored called 'Potassium Nitrate' (which is actually Potassium and Nitrogen together in a mixture). This Explosion in 2020 was probably, one of the most unluckiest events to occur in the Year of the Swan
Beirut is also a hotter country and, as mentioned previously in my prediction, hotter and warmer countries in 2020 may not be as lucky.
What about the other elements which I mentioned as unlucky in 2020? We can also look at the investment markets to see if they were lucky or not.
I mentioned the element Gallium as not as lucky in 2020. Gallium prices fell at the beginning of 2020 however recovered to 2019 levels at the end of 2020. So it was not really that great in terms of success and abundance.
I also mentioned Holmium as an unlucky element in 2020. In fact Statistica.com says the price of the rare earth oxide holmium oxide decreased considerably between 2011 and 2019, and is forecast to further decrease until 2025.
What about Gold? I said it would be unlucky in 2020 and out of all the unlucky elements I listed, I bolded Gold (as seen in the same excerpt below again), as I was confident (out of all the unlucky elements I listed there) it would not be good, in 2020.
I also said in the below excerpt on Gold:
Again I was right, gold mining companies had great difficulties throughout 2020.
Lets have a look.
According to Kitco.com Oaxaca mining unit in Mexico produced approximately 20,473 gold ounces. The annual gold production fell by 49% compared to 2019 (40,318 ounces).
According also to Kitco.com, Barrick gold dropped 13% in 2020. The company’s 2020 preliminary gold production decreased by 13% compared to 2019 (5.5 million ounces).
According to Business-Standard.com, India's gold demand hits 25-yr low in 2020 amid lockdowns, high prices: WGC
Again Kitco.com said Hecla sees 23% gold production drop in 2020, other metals up
And Business Insider posted news on ‘Why Gold Down But Not Out’
Gold was very dicey and unpredictable in 2020 and many mining companies saw losses. Gold was definitely unlucky as I predicted as there no dispute about that, no matter how skeptical you are.
Luckier elements I predicted for 2020
What about some of the elements on the periodic table that I said would be luckier?
Here is a snippet of my prediction, where I listed the lucky elements way back in March 2020:
I mentioned Copper and Aluminum as potentially lucky elements..and bolded these elements in my article released in March 2020, as I was very confident they would be lucky (as you can see above).
I even suggested again in my 2020 article, that it may be luckier to wear jewelry made of copper rather than gold or silver! Again see below the snippet from a year ago..
Investors didn't think much about these elements in the early part of the year of 2020 when I predicted this, yet six months later I was right again.
This article below proves that I was eventually right about Copper for 2020. The article exclaims Not Gold, Not Silver: Copper Conquering the Investment World. It was published on the 8th of December 2020.
The investment article above, also exclaims copper prices were highest in 8 years in 2020, as seen stated below, despite pandemic:
This article on Copper’s success was repeated over various sites as seen below as it was quite significant surprise to the investment world I believe.
So as a skeptic reading my findings here, it is indisputable that I CORRECTLY predicted copper as a LUCKY element in 2020. No matter how much you want to disagree.
Again here is the snippet of the luckiest elements I listed for 2020 where I’ve highlighted Nickel:
Nickel (highlighted in orange) also was another very successful element 2020 that I correctly predicted as lucky, as seen in the excerpt above. At the time I released my Swan article it was March the 8th and Nickel had slumped in that month due to the pandemic, yet later became successful in the year of 2020 as I predicted. My Nickel prediction which came true as stated in the below article by Glenn Dyer, whom also mentions Copper as the ‘star’ in 2020:
This article posted November the 30th, 2020 above, describes how Nickel was underpinning Copper’s success and it also mentions how Gold’s weakness was continuing at that time. Glenn also mentions Copper as the ‘star’ in 2020 with 7 year highs and Nickel moves higher in demand from China.
Another article published by Investingnews.com titled Nickel Outlook 2021: Strong Demand Recovery Ahead, Supply to Increase, by Priscila Barrera - December 17th, 2020 for Investing News Network (INN)
.. said the following on Nickel during 2020 after analysts were interviewed by INN:
“The second quarter saw the metal start a sharp rebound that ultimately led to its highest point year-to-date: US$17,650 on December 15”
[in other words, Nickel reached its highest point since 2015, despite pandemic]
and
“For Roskill’s Jack Anderson, the nickel price lived up to its volatile reputation through the year — it was able to rise from a COVID-19 low in March despite the market being in oversupply”
and also
“Speaking with INN, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence analyst Greg Miller said that all things considered, nickel has outperformed expectations in 2020”
- so again, I was right about Nickle becoming a lucky element for 2020 :-)
What About Aluminum, I said it would be a lucky element in 2020!
Aluminum is also another element which I bolded in my ‘lucky elements’ list in March 2020, which turned out to be a success later on, as 2020 emerged too. The reason why I bolded it back then, is because I felt more confident that it could succeed compared to the other lucky elements on the list. Here is the same snippet of my article again from a year ago:
And here are some links below to legitimate media sites published in 2020, confirming I was right about Aluminum luck in 2020.
China’s aluminum imports set annual record, eclipsing 2009 high
Column-China imports ever more aluminum as alloy demand booms: Andy Home
Aluminum demand growth will soon outpace production growth
Column-Is China nearing peak after aluminum after record 2020 output?
This last article mentioned here on the list, explains how Aluminum recovered quickly from the March 2020 drop due to China’s booming demand.
Again, a December 2020 Reuters article, confirms the overall success of this element Aluminum, as I predicted correctly for 2020 many months in advance.
Andy Home states in the above article, Aluminum success as one of the most unexpected trends yet if you had read my prediction you would have been expecting it! As I said so many times Aluminum would be successful in 2020 way before it happened early in the year.
What about Astatine, Indium and Manganese? I also said they would be lucky in 2020. Unfortunately some of these elements were hard to find information on in the investment markets. However..
Astatine was proven as a lucky element in 2020, for its potential benefits in cancer therapy in research that was published in August 2020. There was also another article released in 2020 which spoke about these findings - 'Astatine shows anticancer promise'
As for the element Indium, a little known Chinese company purchased enough stock to last for phones and TVs for 6 years. Bloomberg said ‘Obscure Chinese Company Buys Vast Stock of Metals U.S. Labels ‘Critical’ to Industry, it was a 600 million dollar swoop (in late Jan 2020).
I was very suspicious of the purchase, as I was thinking did they magically know that a pandemic was about to occur and decided to stock up??
I leave you there with something to think about, in regards to the elements on the periodic table. Lets move on now to other predictions I made for 2020.
2020 was the Year of the Lake, and one of the other aspects I mentioned was the likelihood of a lake standing out in someway and it being positive? Did this occur, yes it did.
Here are snippets of what I said as I mentioned it a number of times in my prediction.
In August 2020, the Ethiopians celebrated the progress made of the Nile Dam. For the first time they celebrated the beginning of the final chapter of their dam’s construction.
Obviously, this dam, was a really big project and how appropriate that it was completed in the year of the lake. Well Done.
Of interest we also had the biggest dam in the world (basically one of the biggest man made lakes) record the largest inflow of water in it’s history, prompting officials to reassure the public.
Of coincidence, isn’t it interesting, that out of all years, it was the Year of the Swan (also the Year of the Lake) which brought the highest flows in it’s history, to this massive dam?
I also predicted emphasis still to marine life, fisheries, oceans, research deep underwater and marine species as seen below.
During the Swan Year, 63 tonnes of ‘ghost gear’ was removed from the Atlantic Ocean throughout 2020 as seen below. I suppose this is reflective of my statement in March 2020, of deep underwater initiatives attracting growth or prosperity, in the Year of the Swan. This initiative was launched in January 2020 for the first time.
A robotic submarine in June 2020, was redeployed due to the pandemic revealing mysterious sea floor life forms that were thought to only exist in foreign waters, were actually found in off north-eastern Australia.
There was also a recent special edition issue of the Journal Deep-Sea Research, which included 16 new research papers. This new knowledge put a further spotlight on sea life and surfaces of the ocean floor in 2020.
The Year of the Swan (also Year of the Lake in 2020), also saw the conclusion of a ten year study of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
In April 2020, we also saw new research which finally demonstrated what many marine biologists suspected but had never before seen: fish migrating through the deep sea.
Considering the above, my comment on luck or progress in 2020 to do with those that research deep underwater and fish species, held true in 2020.
In regards to what I predicted about progress to do with fishing or fisheries, there was construction of the world's first 100,000-ton large-scale fish farming ship, which commenced in China's Shandong Province, in December 2020, during one of the last months of the Lake Year. It was good time to start it (according to me) and I wonder if the Chinese also knew it was a Lake Year and favored fishing?
This included the use of “movable fish farms” out at sea..
We can certainly see an emphasis to these industries as I predicted for 2020..
It was the Swan Year in 2020. Did the Swan stand out in 2020?
An article published on the 17th of November, 2020, called ‘Public Art Takes Flight in Northam’, speaks of a mural painted by the artist, Amok Island. The artwork pays tribute the swans of Northam, which is one of Western Australia’s largest inland town.
And what a most appropriate mural choice in the Year of the Swan, I should say. I do not think the artist knew it was the Year of the Swan when he painted it, yet artists often feel things with a special touch, sometimes even they do not realise.
What were some of the other Swan happenings going on in the world?
A swan blocking a rail way line in Germany where police and firefighters were forced to intervene as it would not move (as seen 3rd picture from left above). This occurred during the last month of the Swan Year (according to the common calendar Jan 2021). 20 trains had to be cancelled due to this swan that stood in the middle of the rail way line.
There was also a wild swan, located in Poole Park in the UK, during the month of October 2020, which was shot with an arrow, yet had surgery and survived (first picture on the left above).
In Sydney, Australia, wild swans gave birth to cygnets in Sydney Park during the month of June 2020 (second picture from the left above).
And most remarkable of all was a baby abandoned swan, found by an Australian couple last year in 2020, whom they rescued and brought up in their home, until it grew up and flew away. Here is the swan (below) being driven around by it’s owner.
I find this particular story published by ABC news, of the Australian couple and their swan most intriguing, as it was a swan whom unexpectedly came into their care, in The Year of Swan 2020.
Another interesting submission, was Tor.com Publishing, a line that provides a home for emerging and established writers, chose in August 2020 to publish an article on Five Retellings of “The Wild Swans” — A Fairy Tale for Our Current Moment
The illustration they chose to display at the top of this promotion (as seen below) was of a female character with her 7 swan brothers.
I thought it was interesting they chose to promote fairy tale stories about swans, on their website, in the Year of the Swan. It intrigues me.
In the Year of the Swan, a new program was released by PBS in April 2020 on Carrol's Wild Life. Carrol Henderson's work has involved helping The Trumpeter Swan recover for 40 years.
It is a blessing that the Year of Swan, in 2020, placed a brighter, more meaningful spotlight on his work, by the airing of a program about his work.
Perhaps, the more hopeful of all was the release of wild swans into Yellowstone National Park in September 2020, to help restore population levels (as seen below) as they were declining over the years. They didn’t know it, but it was the best year to release them.
I also said Beavers would hold special significance in 2020, did this happen?
Beavers in Devon, UK over the last 5 years were being monitored by wild life experts. In August, 2020 it was announced that the Beavers can remain. This was a very serious decision and involved taking into consideration of England’s wildlife and health of the land, as seen below:
So I suppose when I said last year that the Beavers would be lucky, they certainly were, as they got their homes back!
Conclusion
2020 proved to be a year full of change as reflected with the 12 year shift.
We saw New Zealand Prime Minster come to positive light as predicted with more luck around female power figures. She rose to the very top in the handling of the coronavirus.
We also had the Queen pose in a rare official photograph for Canada with her blue sapphires, as I predicted when I said a Queen could stand out with her blue sapphires.
I also predicted bad luck around men in power, as we saw conflict around the male figures, as evident in the Trump Administration and various other men of power struggle with the world.
Blue Sapphires were most auspicious and stood out like I said they would be, they were highlighted at the very top of Christie’s and Sotheby’s (auctions in that year). They were also very popular as auction piece purchases.
There was a highlight on swans around the world including those whom work with swans and we also had swans as a symbol come up in other ways, even an artist chose to paint massive swans as a mural on a building, even though he did not know, it was the Year of the Swan.
We also had the luckiest elements I predicted, Copper, Aluminum and Nickel become favorable as the year progressed in the financial markets. Although at the time I made this prediction it was March 2020 and those elements had severely slumped, so my comment and foresight on these elements, was very gutsy!
I also predicted the most unluckiest elements (Potassium and Nitrogen), which turned out later in the year to be true, where they ended up being the two main chemicals in the Biuret Explosion (the most unluckiest event in 2020 highlighted in the media) - referred to as Potassium Nitrate.
“Desert People” whom I thought overall would be unlucky in 2020 - such as darker raced people, turned out to be negative occurrence, which came up around the world, as it brought light to the continuing racism. The unlucky color yellow I predicted for 2020, was also their symbol as they painted ‘Black Lives Matter’ murals on the streets of America with buckets and buckets of yellow paint.
We also had tremendous losses in terms of Dubai debt where CNBC mentioned that Dubai may not recover from debt until 2023, Saudi Arabia had great uncertainty and decline with their oil prices falling to 1991 year lows. Again, this fits in with my concern about desert countries or hotter countries.
I was worried about HEAT in the weather during 2020 and we ended up having the highest heat levels in a 141 year recorded history! Fire was still in opposition as predicted in 2020, and California ended up having it’s biggest fire in history that year.
I predicted positive movements and progress in deep underwater research and fishing industries. An initiative started in January 2020, which saw ourselves cleaning up fishing gear from depths of the ocean at grand scale for the first time. We also saw China start its new massive wide scale fishing projects, the biggest of its kind ever seen in the world.
In the year of the Swan we saw emphasis to the swan population at a lake in Yellowstone National Park, and Carroll Henderson’s work on swans over the last 40 years stood out in tv program which was released in April 2020 Year of the Swan.
Hope you enjoyed the read, bye for now..

I leave you with a picture of Queen Elizabeth and a baby swan, which was pictured in a Town and Country magazine article, published on the 18th of May, 2020. It just so happened to be the Year of the Swan, when Town and Country Magazine decided to publish an article on the Queen and her swans - was it just a coincidence? I leave that up to you.
