Nostradamus has been dead for the last 458 years but that hasn’t stopped him from making some ‘chilling’ predictions for 2025.
The French astrologer became known for his supposed ability of foresight after he released a book titled Les Prophéties, which was a collection of predictions, in 1555.
Since then, fans have been interpreting his words in an attempt to work out if they have any relevance to the events of the world today.

And apparently, there are five major events that Nostradamus has predicted will take place in the next 12 months - and some of them are quite shocking.
This is according to a report by The Standard.
A war in England and the return of the plague
According to Nostradamus, the UK will suffer a great plague as well as a major war.

He wrote: “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.”
Not a great start, to be honest.
Conflict in global politics
The astrologer believed that ‘great powers will clash’ and some think this is a nod to what is currently going on in politics, with the threat of nuclear war.

He says there will be ‘a decrease in the influence of established Western countries and the emergence of new world powers’.
However, it isn't all bad as Nostradamus notes there will be ‘significant improvements in illness prevention and treatment’.
That’s something, at least.
The Ukraine and Russia war comes to and end
The Ukraine-Russia war escalated when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Nostradamus wrote: “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.”
Some believe that references to ‘the crescent sign of the Moon’ and ‘Gallic brass’ suggests that France and Turkey could be involved in settling the dispute.
End of world
If all this wasn’t bad enough, Nostradamus also predicted that a massive asteroid would destroy the world.

“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.” he wrote.
Disaster in the Amazon
Not only is the world’s end supposedly coming, the astrologer has predicted volcano eruptions and floods in Brazil as climate change continues to be a threat.
“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,” he said.
