The mysterious predictions of French astrologer and seer Michel de Nostredame, often known as Nostradamus, have fascinated people for centuries.
Many people think that the more than 900 quatrains in his 1555 work Les Prophéties, which is written in enigmatic verse, predict important world events. The emergence of Napoleon, the world wars, and even contemporary technological developments have all been connected to his predictions.
The strong earthquake that shook Japan this past New Year’s was also said to be predicted by the Frenchman.
Despite their well-known ambiguity, which has led to many different interpretations, Nostradamus’s words continue to serve as a prism
“The dry Earth will become more parched and there will be great floods,” he wrote.
According to the psychic’s followers, he might have been alluding to the 7.5-magnitude earthquake that rocked the country’s west coast, killing 48 people, destroying structures, and causing tsunamis that were three feet high.
Nostradamus’s predictions for 2024 also included a new pope, war with China, King Charles’s abdication, and apocalyptic events ending the world due to climate change.
The French astrologer has gained popularity again as 2025 draws near, and many people are going back to read his prophecies in hopes of gaining new perspectives.
Despite their well-known ambiguity, which has led to many different interpretations, Nostradamus’s words continue to serve as a prism through which people consider the unknown that lies ahead.

Here are all his predictions for 2025.
England’s cruel wars and the return of plague
Nostradamus said: “When those from the lands of Europe, see England set up her throne behind. Her flanks, there will be cruel wars. The kingdom will be marked by wars so cruel, foes from within and without will arise. A great pestilence from the past returns, no enemy more deadly under the skies.”
Nostradamus’s quatrains suggest England could face a dual challenge in 2025: devastating wars and the resurgence of an ancient plague.

Conflict in global politics
The mystic foresaw a day when “great powers will clash”. This may be related to the numerous conflicts that are currently taking place all over the world.
Nostradamus’s prediction of “a decrease in the influence of established Western countries and the emergence of new world powers” accords with observable shifts in global politics.
Medical breakthroughs
It’s not all bad. Medical technology would grow significantly, according to Nostradamus, who also foresaw “significant improvements in illness prevention and treatment”. Next year is anticipated to see significant advancements in personalised medicine, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and other fields.
Better preventive-healthcare options for conditions like dementia and novel treatments for chronic diseases might become available.
An end to war between Ukraine and Russia
According to Nostradamus’s prophecies for 2024, a major battle spanning continents may continue. But, according to his enigmatic writings, one of the protracted wars may end in 2025, perhaps alluding to the Russia-Ukraine war, which started in 2022.
The astrologer outlined a situation in which both sides may be compelled to pursue peace due to fatigue from the conflict. He penned, “Through long war all the army exhausted, so that they do not find money for the soldiers; instead of gold or silver, they will come to coin leather, Gallic brass, and the crescent sign of the Moon.”
The allusions to “the crescent sign of the Moon” and “Gallic brass” have prompted some to hypothesise that France and Turkey could be involved in settling the dispute.
The end of the world
Nostradamus also foresaw that a massive asteroid with the dramatic handle “Harbinger of Fate” will approach Earth in perilous proximity.
“From the cosmos, a fireball will rise, A harbinger of fate, the world pleads. Science and fate in a cosmic dance, The fate of the Earth, a second chance.”
It’s possible that human extinction may result in the Earth’s “second chance” given our heinous and ongoing exploitation and looting of its natural resources. However, seeing as Nostradamus has predicted events until 3797, we’re probably safe for now.
Natural disaster in the Amazon
In addition, the French astrologer predicted that climate change would cause volcanic eruptions and floods in Brazil.
Nostradamus additionally predicted, “Garden of the world near the new city, In the path of the hollow mountains: It will be seized and plunged into the Tub, forced to drink waters poisoned by sulphur.”
The rise and fall of Aquaman
While horrendous floods tear coastal cities apart and displace millions of civilians, the astrologer predicts a “mysterious leader” will come from the sea and form an “aquatic empire”.
With climate change, floods are likely. However, the latter prediction does seem unlikely, unless he envisioned another sequel to the film.
But who knows how Nostradamus’s predictions could play out?
