What predictions did Edgar Cayce make about the 2020s and how accurate have they been so far?

1. What Cayce actually predicted for the 2020s: Earth changes, political upheaval and a “Third Day”

Cayce’s readings, as preserved by the Association for Research and Enlightenment, forecasted a period of “Earth changes” affecting coasts, islands and continents, and highlighted specific regions—Davis Strait, Libya, Egypt, Ankara, Syria, the Indian Ocean and areas above Australia—as places to “watch” ^[1]. Some interpreters summarize Cayce’s timeframe as a sequence of three “days” or eras, with the “Third Day” running roughly 2018–2030 and a notably dark phase concentrated around 2024 that would wane by 2025 ^{[5] [2]}. Additional prophecies circulated among Cayce enthusiasts include predictions of a shift in global power toward China and transformational social and spiritual developments ^{[1] [6]}.

2. How supporters map modern events onto those forecasts

Advocates point to climate-driven disasters, rising sea levels and increased volcanic and seismic activity as aligning with Cayce’s “Earth changes,” and to the geopolitical prominence of China as a direct match to his remarks about that nation’s future role ^{[1] [7]}. Online prophecy aggregators and devoted sites repeatedly list contemporary wars or Middle East unrest as evidence of Cayce’s foresight, and some communities assert that esoteric dates—fires in 2025, leadership shifts and a reordering of economic systems—are directly foretold by Cayce and unfolding now or imminently ^{[3] [6]}.

3. How skeptics and mainstream science evaluate those claims

Mainstream scientific opinion disputes the core physical mechanisms Cayce and like-minded psychics propose, particularly sudden pole shifts and large-scale continental repositioning; planetary geologists call such scenarios “for the most part nonsense” and advise against treating them as factual ^[4]. Popular magazine coverage that examined doomsday map claims grouped Cayce’s predictions with other criticized theorists and warned readers these post-polar-shift scenarios “should not be construed as fact” ^[4]. Even sympathetic spiritual commentators sometimes add caveats—Cayce himself prefaced predictions with conditional language (“if all things stayed the same”), suggesting room for human action to alter outcomes ^[2].

4. What’s been accurate so far—and what remains unverified or falsified

Concrete, time-stamped fulfillments tied uniquely to Cayce’s 2020s predictions are thin: China’s geopolitical ascent is broadly consistent with Cayce’s positive mentions of China but not a precise prophetic hit ^[1], while climate and seismic concerns reflect real-world trends yet fall short of the dramatic axis shifts and continental displacement Cayce’s readings sometimes imply—claims that lack scientific support and have not occurred ^[4]. Many purported confirmations rely on vague language, retroactive reinterpretation, or selective linkage to contemporary events via prophecy websites and community blogs rather than independently verifiable, uniquely predicting phenomena ^{[3] [8] [9]}.

5. Bottom line: conditional prophecy, competing narratives and continuing ambiguity

The corpus of Cayce material offers a mix of specific place-names and sweeping, conditional scenarios; followers interpret present-day climate extremes, geopolitical shifts and spiritual trends as partial fulfillment ^{[1] [5]}, whereas scientific and skeptical voices emphasize that the most dramatic physical predictions (rapid pole shifts, massive geographic relocation) have not been borne out and are implausible given current geology ^[4]. Assessment therefore hinges on whether one accepts broad symbolic readings and selective matches promoted by interested organizations and websites, or demands testable, time-bound predictions evaluated against scientific standards—sources provided here show both the believers’ case and the mainstream rebuttal ^{[3] [4] [1]}.
