Currently there are 123 Cardinal Electors out of a total of 223 living Cardinals.
Nine Cardinal Electors will turn 80 (and thus lose their right to vote) by mid-October, bringing the Elector count down to 114.
The last two were held in late June, but at that point this year, the count will be at 120 Electors - making it a less likely time frame.
So I think that just before Christ the King Solemnity (24 November 2019) will be the next Consistory to Create Cardinals.
After that, it is a bit more tricky. Only 4 Cardinals turn 80 in 2020. In 2021, another 6 reach that age. So I think there will be another Consistory to Create new Cardinals just before Christ the King Solemnity 2021.
Finally, in 2022, 11 more Cardinals reach the age limit, although the majority are in the second half of the year. So yet another late year consistory is possible in 2022.
2023 is similar, with 11 Cardinals scheduled to reach the age limit.
