As 2024 comes to a close, social media users have once again turned to ‘doomsday prophet’ Nostradamus for predictions for 2025. Nostradamus, born Michel de Nostradamus, was a French astrologer and physician who lived in the 1500s and predicted some modern-day moments like Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, the September 11 attacks, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Had predicted. He is best known for his book Les Prophétis (The Prophecies), published in 1555, which consists of 942 poetic quatrains that are widely interpreted to refer to global events.
Researchers analyzing their work have indicated that some extreme events could occur in 2025, ranging from an asteroid collision to another plague-like pandemic in the UK. Although Nostradamus’s prophecies do not often come true, they still provide a certain thrill to the people who read them.
End of Russia-Ukraine war?
Nostradamus’s 2024 prophecy included continued war throughout the continent, but according to his vague writings, 2025 could see a possible end to one of the long-running wars. The astrologer said that due to war fatigue, both sides may abandon it, perhaps referring to the Russia-Ukraine conflict that started in 2022.
He wrote, “The whole army became exhausted during the long war, so that they had no money for the soldiers; instead of gold or silver, they would come for leather, Gallic brass and moon crescent coins.”
Mention of “Gallic brass” and “moon signs” have led social media users to believe that France and Türkiye may be involved in the conflict.
plague and war
Nostradamus predicted that the New Year would be heavy on England, which would be beset by “brutal wars” and face the wrath of an “ancient plague” that would be “worse than that of its enemies.” Since his prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic has come true It happened, experts have said, put a pin on this prediction.

Asteroid collision with Earth?
While other events may not harm civilization, Nostradamus predicts that a giant asteroid could collide with Earth in 2025, or come within dangerous proximity of the planet. Although predictions may suggest the extinction of life from Earth, asteroids coming close to the planet is not a new phenomenon. Several hundred asteroids pass by Earth every year and most of them maintain a safe distance.
Natural disasters in Brazil
The prediction also says that Brazil, the South American country that Nostradamus calls “the Garden of the World”, could face flooding and possible volcanic activity linked to climate change.
The terrifying passage reads, “The Garden of the World near the New City, on the way to the Hollow Mountains: it will be captured and put in tubs, forced to drink water poisoned with sulfur.”
According to reports, Nostradamus’s dark worldview stemmed from his heavy consumption of the Old Testament and the trauma of losing his wife and young children to disease, possibly the plague. Unable to save his loved one, Nostradamus sought solace by predicting the destruction and despair that would fall upon humanity.
