As we approach the end of 2024, the anticipation for what 2025 may hold has sparked the interest of social media users once again. Many have turned to the famous ‘prophet of doom’, Nostradamus, for his predictions about the upcoming year. Nostradamus, born Michel de Nostredame, was a French astrologer and physician who lived in the 16th century. His book, Les Propheties (The Prophecies), published in 1555, contains 942 poetic quatrains that have been widely interpreted to predict major global events.
One of the most intriguing predictions for 2025 involves the possibility of an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Nostradamus hinted at the exhaustion of the warring parties, suggesting that both sides may reach a point where they are unable to continue the conflict. This prediction has sparked speculation about the involvement of other countries, such as France and Turkey, in the resolution of the conflict.
Another ominous prediction for 2025 involves the United Kingdom facing a new plague outbreak, which Nostradamus describes as “worse than enemies”. Given the accuracy of his prediction about the COVID-19 pandemic, experts are taking this prophecy seriously and monitoring the situation closely.
In addition, Nostradamus has foreseen a potential asteroid collision with Earth in 2025, or at least a close encounter with a large asteroid. While the idea of an asteroid impacting Earth may sound catastrophic, it is worth noting that such events are not uncommon, with many asteroids passing by our planet each year without causing any harm.
The astrologer’s predictions also point to natural disasters in Brazil, a country he refers to as the “Garden of the World”. Nostradamus suggests that Brazil may face flooding and volcanic activity, potentially linked to climate change. This grim outlook on the future may stem from Nostradamus’ personal experiences, including the loss of his wife and children to illness, possibly the plague.
As we eagerly await the arrival of 2025, it is important to remember that while Nostradamus’ predictions may be intriguing, they should be taken with a grain of salt. The future is uncertain, and only time will tell what events will actually unfold in the coming year.
