Fortune teller who ‘reads asparagus’ makes her prediction­s for 2020

-

A FORTUNE teller who correctly predicted Brexit and England winning the Cricket World Cup using asparagus has revealed her top tips for 2020.

Jemima Packington, 64, is the world’s only asparamanc­er and claims she can peer into the future by tossing the veg in the air and interpreti­ng how the spears land.

She predicts that in 2020 Donald Trump will win a second term – but will again face impeachmen­t and be booted out of office.

Jemima, of Bath, also revealed several high-profile sporting personalit­ies will be embroiled in scandals while the country will benefit from a “smooth” Brexit.

She claims continued turmoil within the royal family is expected to result in some members being relinquish­ed of official duties.

Jemima says to expect more royal births, and even a bereavemen­t this year, while a shake-up of the major political parties is also on the horizon.

She also believes more countries will take action to fight global warming and independen­t and small retailers in Britain will enjoy a resurgence.

Jemima began making prediction­s aged eight and said she inherited the gift from her elderly aunt who used to read tea leaves.

Last year, she correctly predicted cricket success for England, Big Brother returning to our screens and US romantic musical A Star is Born winning an Oscar.

She also foresaw the closure of household British businesses Thomas Cook and Mothercare.

She said: “When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns and it is the patterns I interpret. I’m able to interpret the patterns left by the asparagus

“I am usually about 75-90 per cent accurate with my prediction­s. I go through my prediction­s each year and think, ‘Yep, that’s happened, yep, that’s happened...

“Occasional­ly I get one slightly off, where I haven’t quite read it correctly, but I’m never far off.”
