Starts at 60’s resident psychic Rose Smith says 2026 will be a year of extremes, with major celebrity upheavals, weather events, political surprises and rapid growth across parts of the country.
Ms Smith says the year ahead looks “mixed but powerful,” with big changes sweeping through Australia and abroad.
“2026 brings incredible opportunities and pockets of real chaos,” she said.
“Some people will be leaping ahead; others will feel like the rug is being pulled out from beneath them.”
Ms Smith runs the largest psychic network in the southern hemisphere, Absolute Soul Secrets, and her psychic predictions have been strikingly accurate.
To name a few, in 2020 she predicted Donald Trump would get coronavirus, and Joe Biden would win the US election.
She also predicted in 2018 that when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married, they would have two children within a few short years.
In 2025, her forecast of health troubles for royalty was reflected in reports of King Charles experiencing setbacks related to his ongoing cancer treatment.
Meanwhile, her warning about increased storms and typhoons in the Philippines proved prescient, with the region hit by several severe cyclones.
Celebrity predictions take centre stage
According to Ms Smith, Hollywood and homegrown stars will see big personal shifts in 2026.
Taylor Swift fans can expect major personal news.
“I see a baby girl. The energy around her is very strong,” said Ms Smith.

While Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are not expected to reconcile.
“They will not get back together. Nicole has someone new coming in, and he’s taller than the two men she’s been tied to before. She needs her true match,” said Ms Smith.
Hugh Jackman’s relationship with Sutton Stracke also won’t be long-term.
“I can see them going strong for a couple of years, but it doesn’t look like a relationship that’ll carry on forever,” she said.
“She’s not the one he ends up with. There’s someone else coming for him. Sutton may be the antidote to the pain of his past, but I don’t see it lasting more than a few years.”
Even relationships with exes are evolving
On Jackman’s relationship with Deborra-Lee Furness, Ms Smith said: “Forgiveness is a hard thing, but the rage has melted. There’s a mild acceptance forming.”
Australia: Big Moves North, Big Weather South
Queensland is tipped to be the big winner of 2026, with economic expansion, tourism boosts and new mining deals driving what Ms Smith calls a “paradise year” for the Sunshine State.
“I see Queensland moving ahead in leaps and bounds. The Premier appears with a handful of money, which usually means a strong economic uptick,” she said.
“There’s major opportunity coming, especially around tourism and new mining operations.”
Victoria, by contrast, will struggle with poor weather and power, prompting many residents to move north.
“Vast numbers of Victorians are continuing to move up the coastline into Queensland. People want warmth, opportunity and stability,” she said.
New South Wales remains strong but uneven.
“Sydney continues to be the hub of activity and vibrancy, a bit like the relationship between London and the rest of the UK. The rest of the state isn’t moving as fast.”
Improvements in healthcare are also on the horizon.
“I see hospitals, clinics and medical services attracting more doctors and nurses in 2026. There’s a lift in medical support overall.”
Australian Politics: Surprise Alliances and Angelic Protection

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese continues to rely heavily on wife Jodie Haydon.
“It always comes through as Anthony, Jodie and the baby. Australia is their baby, metaphorically speaking, and it takes up their full focus. She is 110 per cent invested in him being Prime Minister,” said Ms Smith.
Barnaby Joyce, meanwhile, has a surprisingly lucky year.
“There’s a lot of green around him, which is the colour of good luck and renewal. But it also represents money. It’s like he’s protected by spirit. I see angels over him doing overtime. He could make some successful moves in politics or real estate, but he must be careful with Pauline Hanson. There’s eventual disagreement there, even though he’s joined her party.”
International Politics: Trump’s Next Move
Ms Smith has a dramatic vision for Donald Trump.
“I see him climbing a rope ladder extremely high in the sky, but it’s tangled with chains pulling him back down to Earth. Once he decides something, he pushes hard as if it’s already fact. But I see him falling from that ladder. He gets a long way before the fall. Pride goeth before a fall – if not in 2026 then in 2027.”
Weather: A Brutal Year Ahead
Australians should brace for a difficult weather year.
“2026 will be horrible in terms of extremes. Storm after storm after storm. It won’t be one event and it’s over. It’s relentless,” said Ms Smith.
She also sees major communication disruptions.
“I’m shown an old-fashioned telephone exchange. It means communications may fail and we’re forced back to older, more reliable technology. When things get extreme, AI and modern tech won’t always hold up.”
Royal Troubles

Ms Smith foresees a worrying downward spiral for Prince Andrew.
“I see him drinking more or turning to substances. He seems to be tumbling into an emotional abyss. There’s a decline into something close to madness. He has big digestive issues and constant nausea. He must control his diet. He’s been eating very rich foods that don’t agree with him.”
