Michele Avanti

Dec. 21, 2003 – Mar. 19, 2004: 
The nation rallies behind a sports personality. This may be an Olympic champion, an NFL quarterback or even Kobe Bryant. 

Media corruption becomes evident. A tragic explosion results from technological advances.

Good economic news overall. Business losses are primarily in the communications sector. Top story is the close of a big communications, car or airline corporation.

New world records set by unlikely or unknown individuals. A scientist working on immortality research is exalted.

Outspoken, progressive women frustrate the president using resources to activate the nation.

A world organization exposes military and health truths causing re-evaluation of old loyalties. Emphasis is mainly on our homeland. 

March 20 – June 19, 2004: 
A sudden explosion on the west Coast, most likely in the LA area around June ninth causes fatalities by explosion or drowning and sudden challenges to travel, communications and property. This event may be an earthquake, or an explosion involving an airline, communications, international, pharmaceutical or medical facility. 

There will be upheavals concerning oil and/or chemicals. Appearance of a new destructive force or threat which has not previously been considered.

An underdog wins primaries. Underdogs win in many areas. The War continues.

Charity and victims of disasters are emphasized. Nobleness of volunteers strikes the heart of the nation.

Rain causes flooding. Issues of poverty and business closings are prevalent. People work together to get through difficult times. Information is repressed.

June 20 – Sept. 21, 2004: 
People are frustrated by war and terrorism. They’re stressed by the question of truth in media. The media focuses on the analysis of foreign policy. 

People struggle to justify foreign policies with American values. Stress looms over national debt, credit card debt and taxes. By mid-September, Bush makes changes in foreign and military policy, appearing to resolve matters. Bush appears to rise from the ashes with rebuilding rhetoric.
A popular piece of fiction captures the imagination of Americans. There is a huge controversy concerning media ownership.

The national economy continues to be uncertain.

A rebirth of old issues brings an unpopular, alternative argument forward and it is well received. It’s a time of fast actions and bold insights. An independent thinking civic leader influences a break with convention. 

Sept. 22 – Dec. 19, 2004: 
There is emphasis on the presidency and the national image. Communication can heal issues of image and terrorism now. Talk centers on taxes, public image, saving money and old patriotic values. 
Analytical/critical public voices challenge Americans to transform their attitudes about our differences. Americans feel they can take control through the election.

Angry Americans listen to a man who offers to transform their country and end the crisis. They join together and their hopes for change and ending the war are gained through the presidential election.
The election emphasizes American values, homeland and our children. People of all cultures come together to vote. A common grassroots leader, an underdog, wins the presidency. 

Media ownership controversy continues. A very strong, confident personality focuses the nation on a social cause. The real situation of the government and its repressive laws comes to light.

A push for consistency in the law will come through attorneys, university leadership or international influences. America emphasizes the honoring of war heroes.

Near the end of this period one individual’s struggle with the system of repressive laws will lead to violence.

Dec. 20, 2004 – Jan. 1, 2005 
America is happy with the new president. A new expansive world image begins. International travel will expand. The media exposes the truth about the economy. Old government responsibilities will challenge the economy. Americans are ready to work with the United Nations. Monetary responsibilities challenge housing but the new president offers opportunities for mortgages and transformations of debt.
