Buckle up, because the turbulent ride that has been 2023 might not be easing up, thanks to none other than the renowned astrologer and seer, Nostradamus. (ladbible.com) Despite the man himself having departed this world almost 500 years ago, his ominous predictions continue to cast a shadow on the present. Nostradamus, famous for his cryptic quatrains in the book Les Propheties, foretells the future with a track record that, much like Baba Vanga, is a mix of hits and misses. In his seemingly prophetic verses for 2023, he eerily mentions a dire cost of living crisis, stating, “So high will the bushel of wheat rise / That man will be eating his fellow man.” Before you panic, let’s dive into what else Nostradamus might have in store for the coming year.

Nostradamus, in his mystical 1555 book, Les Propheties, intricately weaves visions of the future through poetic quatrains, a literary crystal ball that has been scrutinized for centuries. While his past predictions, including the likes of September 11 and Kennedy’s assassination, are up for debate, his forecast for 2023 is worth a closer look. (ladbible.com) Brace yourselves, for he envisions a world where “The dry earth will grow more parched and there will be great floods,” accompanied by a chilling warning of a ‘very great famine through pestiferous wave.’ If these lines are any indication, catastrophic events like tsunamis might be looming on the horizon.

But that’s not all—Nostradamus appears to peer into the realm of geopolitical tensions, foretelling a showdown with China. His quatrain paints a vivid picture of ‘combat and naval battle,’ where the ‘Red adversary will become pale with fear / Putting the great Ocean in dread.’ Interpreters suggest that the ‘red adversary’ points to communist China, hinting at a maritime confrontation.

Delving into more recent interpretations, Nostradamus commentator Mario Reading adds a royal twist to the mix. ( 📰 CDC Traces Outbreak of Multiple Cases of Transmitted Eye Syphilis to One Man ) In a quatrain that speaks of the ‘King of the Isles’ facing controversy, a turbulent divorce, and being ‘driven out by force,’ the replacement is described as ‘one who will have no mark of a king.’ Reading sees this as a reference to King Charles III being forced to abdicate due to relentless attacks on him and his second wife, with Prince Harry—labeled as having ‘no mark of a king’—ascending to the throne. While the strained relationship within the Royal Family makes this scenario seem unlikely, as with all things Nostradamus, only time will unveil the truth.
