A Futurist’s Forecast for August 2022

Expect the Unexpected

The overall forecast for August is to expect the unexpected.

In times of transition, letting go is an option since hanging on can lead us astray. We are witnessing events taking place that have unexpected starts and pauses. For example, there are so many job opening where there’s a shortage of workers. And at the same time, layoffs are taking place.

Due to recent heatwaves, there are power outages that stop everything. The financial markets are volatile. Summer travel is now described as hell as flights get cancelled or delayed. And then, there is the housing market and fluctuations in many areas.

The forecast is to expect the unexpected as things become unfamiliar. And it is also a great opportunity to ask ourselves what are we in control of?

Some of us are looking beyond the fluctuations and becoming creative about what we want. There is an energy emerging that understand that we can create powerful change.

Ways of life and rules that we once followed and accepted may no longer be acceptable to us. Because we need to not only expect the unexpected, but embrace it by taking impeccable care of ourselves. And we forecast that we get many chances to practice neutrality.
