America’s Fourth Turning: Why This Expert Astrologer Is Watching 2027

Episode Overview

The episode centers on veteran financial astrologer Bill Meridian’s warning that 2027–28 could bring a major American crisis.

Meridian links the timing to the US “Uranus return,” which he says has coincided with major turning points roughly every 80 years: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II. Drawing on the idea of “alternation,” he argues that because two of those crises were conflicts abroad, the next one may be domestic.

Possible Domestic Unrest

Meridian says he does not necessarily expect a conventional, clearly divided civil war. Instead, he envisions unrest, civil disobedience, and intermittent violence in different places, potentially followed by a government response that suspends constitutional protections.

He points to today’s political polarization and to astrology charts he associates with US conflict—including one based on the British surrender at Yorktown—as reasons for concern. Host Dan Weights adds that the pattern could indicate a broader split within American society, alongside geopolitical tensions.

Financial Risks

The discussion also turns to financial risks. Meridian’s astrological cycles point to a difficult 2027, and he warns that a Uranus–Admetos alignment could bring a sudden shock, such as a major software or AI failure or a crash affecting Wall Street systems. He compares the alignment with the 1929 market crash, while acknowledging the historical example is limited.

Meridian also argues that years ending in seven or eight have often seen financial panics in October or November. He highlights US debt and interest costs as real-world pressures.

Memorable Moments and Anecdotes

Meridian describes Uranus as “a very rude awakening” and compares Admetos to becoming “comfortably numb.” He then imagines Uranus striking like the lightning-struck tower in a tarot deck.

He also shares an astrology-themed anecdote about actor Jeff Morrow: Meridian says Morrow had the Sun conjunct the hypothetical planet Kronos and starred in a science-fiction film titled Kronos.

Weights closes by noting that another astrologer had also forecast financial trouble and violence around this period, while stressing that the possible outcomes could take several forms.
