THE NOSTRADAMUS EARTHQUAKE (27 December 2004) (Permission has been given by John & author to
freely Distribute this) This may be the
quake "reported from the bottom of Asia" that Nostradamus predicted
in Century 3 Quatrain 3 of his prophetic masterpiece, "Les
Propheties," written in 1555. We could talk
about this amazing prophecy and discuss whether it indicates the location of
the next great earthquake (in Greece and Turkey). Here's a
"text only version" of the article, followed by my brief biography:
(27 December
2004) THE NOSTRADAMUS
EARTHQUAKE: Friends, The 16th-century French
seer, Michel de Nostradamus, wrote the following prophecy over
four-and-a-half centuries before that could have presaged the great Sumatran
quake. Quatrain 3 of Century 3 of Nostradamus' prophetic classic "Les
Propheties" says the following: Mars &
Mercure & l'argent ioint ensemble, Mars and Mercury
and the silver [Moon] in conjunction. Destiny altering
events often find themselves echoed in Nostradamus' prophecies, such as a
super quake. On a map, Sumatra is indeed situated at the bottom of Asia.
However, there have been two other deadly quakes in recent memory suffered by
another region we might identify as being "from the bottom of
Asia"--India. There was the Killari-Latur quake of 30 September 1993
which killed 10,000 to 40,000 people in Maharastra State (Central India), and
the great Gujarati temblor of 26 January 2001 killing 50,000 to 100,000 in
India's populous Northwestern state on the border with Pakistan. Line one written
all the way back in the year 1554 attempts to give us a date for when, or
near about when, the quake takes place. Of Nostradamus' 70 astrological
predictions recorded in his volume of major prophecies, many have been
surprisingly close or on the mark. (Judge an
assessment of the accuracy of these astrological predictions by reading
"Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies" http://www.hogueprophecy.com/ncomplet.htm;
and "Nostradamus: The New Millennium" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007140924/hogueprophecyc0d)
The crux of this
prophecy's message is the following. At a time astrologically slotted in line
one, there will be a great drought towards the south ("le Midy" in
Old French).By referring to the "south" he might only mean his home
region of southern France: "le Midi" or Provence. Otherwise
"le Midi" could imply this and much more: the regions "south"
of France itself, such as North Africa, suffers a great and lingering
drought. When this happens, line three predicts an earthquake in the nether
regions of Asia. That would include a wide area from the South Asian
subcontinent (India) to the Dutch East Indies (Sumatra, Indonesia) as the target
area. It is a fact that
southern France and Saharan Africa have endured record droughts between the
years 1993 through 2004, whether we are talking about the Killari-Latur or
Gujarat quakes, or the most recent submarine quake centred 125 miles off the northwest
coast of the northern Sumatran province of Aceh. Moreover, seismic activity
in August 1999, in the regions of Greece (code named "Corinth" and
Turkey (code named "Ephesus"), was responsible for some of the
worst loss of life and destruction of property in a century. These quakes
took place five years after Killari-Latur and two years before the Gujarat
quakes "from the bottom of Asia." I wrote the
following passage, in October of 2001 for pp. 216 of "Nostradamus: The
New Millennium" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007140924/hogueprophecyc0d).
It explains how the Killari-Latur and Gujarat quakes measure up to the clues
of the prophecy. I added brackets today for clarity: "Back in the
first editions of this book [published in 1987 and 1991] I interpreted
Quatrain 3 of Century 3 as an astrological dating for a major quake 'reported
in the bottom of Asia'--in other words, India--for October of 1993 when
Mercury, Mars and Saturn are in Aquarius. Indeed the last day of September
1993 did see the massive Killari-Latur earthquake strike central India and
kill 10,000 people. [This was the conservative number.] The prophecy also
said the quake in India would take place when Turkey and Greece are in a
'troubled state.' At the time of the Killari-Latur quake both countries
nearly went to war over disputed islands in the Aegean Sea. "The
Gujarati quake in Northwestern India of 26 January 2001 nearly saw the same
astrological conjunction. Around the time when one out of every ten high rise
apartments from Bhuj to Ahmedabad collapsed into dust heaps of un-reinforced
rubble, the planet Mercury and the Moon were in conjunction in Aquarius. Mars
was in Scorpio this time, though, putting it nearly 90 degrees from the other
conjoined two--this 'square' of Mars to other major planets often appears
around great quakes. Although Mars was not in conjunction, two of the three
planets were again in the sign of Aquarius as before in the Killari-Latur
quake! Perhaps this is another example of Nostradamus overlapping more than
one of tomorrow's events seen from the far-off 1550s. Except for Mars not
being in Aquarius there were certainly other parallels. Greece and Turkey are
still in a troubled, adversarial state. The 'unstable and troubled state'
mentioned by Nostradamus could also stand for the series of catastrophic
earthquakes unleashed on Greece and especially Western Turkey in August of
1999. This is close enough in time for the Gujarat quake to be part of the
prophecy. The mention of great Indian quakes at the time of great drought in
the south of France applies itself well to tremors 1993 and 2001 and to the
ongoing desertification of sub-Saharan Africa."
"Nostradamus:
The New Millennium" p. 216 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007140924/hogueprophecyc0d).
Moving forward to
the present catastrophe, the loss of life and property damage from tsunamis
generated by the Sumatran temblor of 26 December may eventually make this the
most far reaching and destructive of the three candidates for Nostradamus'
quake from the bottom of Asia. Astrologically
speaking, the aspects expected by Nostradamus that Mercury, Mars and the Moon
should be conjoined is partially fulfilled. Again two of the three planets
described are in the same sign: Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius. The planets
are not in Aquarius like the last two times, but Nostradamus did not specify
the importance of the sign in his prophecy. The Moon was in Cancer during the
quake so there is no literal conjoining possible with Mercury and Mars. The
quake did take place when the moon was full. Therefore, Nostradamus mentioned
the moon together with the other planets possibly inferring a more poetic
than literal union of signs dating the quake. Line one says: "Mars and
Mercury and the silver [Moon] in conjunction..." Nostradamus often
uses the alchemical metaphor "d'argent" for the moon when
describing the complete waxing of the silver light of a full moon. The
Sumatran quake took place on the day of a full moon! Mars again was in
a square aspect, like the Gujarati quake, this time with the planet Uranus.
Again, many of the greatest and most devastating earthquakes in the past
century took place when Mars or Uranus was either squared the sun or each
other! What then for the
near future? Does the final line of the prophecy forebode another great
quake, and where? "...Corinth
[Greece] and Ephesus [Asia Minor] then in a troubled state." There are a
number of poetic possibilities for the old French meaning of
"perplexité", such as "troubled" or "chaotic"
or "confused." These need not only be applied to the "shake
up" of earth tremors alone but can also point to political, or social
upheavals. A great "quake" of social or natural disasters may visit
Greece and Turkey next. Or perhaps a quake of terror and war from the Middle
East may spread there. It could be said
that Nostradamus sometimes saw future events slightly askew in sequence. We
can reason that the quakes he expected in Greece and Turkey coming
"after" the great temblor reported "from the bottom of Asia"
have already taken place back in August of 1999. Whatever the
final sequence, Nostradamus and other prophets forecasting our new century
expect earth and civilization shaking times ahead. John Hogue |
