Prophecies by Nostradamus

Castor Pollux en nef, astre crinite,

L'erain public par terre & mer vuidе,

Pise, ast, Ferrare, Turin, terre interdicte.

Shortly before the monarch is assassinated,

Castor Pollux in the ship, bearded star,

The public treasury emptied by land and sea,

Pisa, Asti, Ferrara, Turin, land under interdict.

The events predicted here cover a period of 5 years from 1605 to 1610.

1 line. In 1610 king Henry IV of France was assassinated by a religious fanatic.

2 line. Paul V (17.08.1552-28.01.1621) became the Pope on 16.05.1605 – 5 years before the death of the French king. His Latin name Paulus is consonant with Pollux in quatrain. In the ship – the boat of St. Peter the Apostle was considered a symbol of the papacy. Castor translates as beaver and beaver fur. Perhaps he was used in the clothes of the pontiff? Bearded star – in 1607 Halley's comet passed near the Earth.

This Pope persecuted progressive astronomical discoveries, he forced Galileo to renounce his teachings.

4 line. lnterdicte – in 1608 Paul V imposed an interdict on the Venetian Republic, but soon canceled it. This was the last interdict of the papacy.

Castor & Pollux are also in quatrain 2.90. In ancient Greek mythology, these are twin brothers – an allegory two Christian religions: Catholicism and Protestantism.

Decoding of number 2.15. If 5+1=6 and 6 to put in front, then 621 – year, 1 – month of the death of Paul V.

Quatrain 10.32 Pope Gregory XV

Le grand empire chacun an deuoit estre,

Vn sur les autres le viendra obtenir,

Mais peu de temps sera son regne & estre,

Deux ans aux naues se pourra soustenir.

The great empire every year must to be,

One will come to obtain it over the others:

But his realm and state will be of short duration,

Two years will he be able to maintain himself on the ships.

The 4th line mentions a ship (the rook of St. Peter) symbolizing the papacy. The pope is elected by a conclave of cardinals for the rest of his life. Gregory XV (09.01.1554-08.07.1623) was pope for 2 years from 09.02.1621.This pope appointed his nepos Richelieu cardinal of France, who actually ruled the country. Gregory XV assisted in the struggle against the Ottomans and Protestants, commuted the punishment far sorcerers and witches.

Decoding of number 10.32. 10-1=9 (932). Turning 9 on 6 and rearranging 3 and 2, we get 623-year of death.

Quatrain 9.42 Plague on Sicily

De Barcelonne, de Gennes & Venise,

De la Secille peste Monet vnis,

Contre Barbare classe prendront la vise,

Barbar poulsе bien loing iusqu'? Thunis.

From Barcelona, from Genoa and Venice,

From Sicily pestilence Monaco joined:

Contact will be received from the Barbarian fleet,

Barbarian driven 'way back as far as Tunis.

A ship from Tunisia brought plague to Sicily in 1624. It brought to Palermo Christian captives and gifts for the king. Out of greed, the king let the ship in, which was not allowed in other places. A third of the city’s population died. The plague spread further. The relics of St. Rosalia, found in a cave on the mountain, saved the city. They were carried around the city on July 15. The plague ceased miraculously. This day is celebrated in Palermo as a holiday.

Decoding of the number 9.42. lf 9 to flip in 6, the numbers to rearrange – 624, 1 to put in front, then it will be 1624 – year of pestilence on Sicily.

Quatrain 5.56 Pope Alexander VII

Par le trespas du tres vieillard pontife,

Sera esleu Romain de bon aage:

Qu'il sera dit que le Siege debiffe

Et long tiendra & de picquant ouurage.

Through the death of the very old Pontiff

A Roman of good age will be elected,

Of him it will be said that he weakens his see,

But long will he sit and in biting activity.

The 1 line. Innocent X (1574-1655) – the Pope from 1644, died at the age of 81 years.

The 2 line. The next pope was elected Alexander VII (1599-1667) at the age of 56 years. For the Pope he was relatively young – 25 years younger than his predecessor. In this line there is a mismatch: Alexander was born in Tuscany, but not in Rome.

The 3 line. Alexander did not have a relationship with France. Cardinal Mazarin had a great influence at the young Louis XIV. He did not approve of the choice of the new pope, and dissuaded Louis to send a traditional embassy to Rome with congratulations. In conflict with France the Pope temporarily lost Avignon and Venicen.

The 4 line. Alexander VII for 12 years occupied the papal throne. Apparently, "in biting activity" should be understood the conflict between the pope and France, which at that time reached its greatest power. Alexander did not like to do work, he was more interested of science and art. A lot of attention he paid to architecture. For his money some churches were decorated, and a beautiful colonnade was built in Rome.

Decoding of the number 5.56. If 1 to put at the ahead and 55 to put at the end, then we will get 1655 – the year of change pope.
