Nostradamus, the world’s most famous astrologer whose quatrains have been re-read and re-interpreted even half a millennium after his passing, made chilling predictions for the year 2026.

His book Les Prophéties, which is a collection of 942 poetic quatrains, includes predictions about the Great Fire of London, Hitler’s rise to power, both World Wars, and the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, among the rest. This is why many are convinced in his power to predict future events with incredible accuracy.

Four of his predictions about 2026 have been revisited, and many are afraid they paint a deeply unsettling picture of the year ahead.

Seven months, great war

According to the Mirror, Nostradamus writes in one of his quatrains, “Seven months great war, people dead through evil/ Rouen, Evreux the King will not fail.” According to experts familiar with the French apothecary, physician, and reputed seer, this verse refers to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

What makes this prediction more unsettling is that it comes with a timeline. This isn’t described as a brief flare-up, but as months of hardship with no swift resolution. The mention of European cities has people wondering if the conflict could spread to other countries. To believers, this isn’t just a warning but a countdown to what may come in the years 2026.

A frightening swarm

One of the most alarming predictions linked to 2026 comes from passage I:26, which reads: “The great swarm of bees will arise… by night the ambush…”

This particular verse has become a focal point for intense speculation among interpreters.

While the image of swarm of bees looks surreal, people believe it has noting to do with actual insects. On the contrary, modern readings link this prophecy to new modes of warfare, especially drone operations and synchronized military attacks. The idea of an invisible force showing up unannounced finds echoes in modern fears about autonomous weapons, cyber warfare, and mass surveillance.

Rivers running red

In a verse written in standard French, Nostradamus wrote: “Because of the favor the city will show… the Ticino will overflow with blood…”

The region of Ticino, set in southern Switzerland, is a place with quiet villages and alpine views. Nothing about it associates to any form of violence and that is what makes the prophecy so unsettling. Switzerland’s reputation for neutrality has long placed it outside the reach of conflict, which is why the idea of bloodshed there feels so shocking. Some interpreters see the verse as hinting at unrest in Europe, with Ticino’s proximity to northern Italy raising fears of trouble spilling across borders.

The death of a prominent figure

One of Nostradamus’ verses has attracted special interest for implying the death of a great man or celebrity. In Century I, Verse 26, Nostradamus is said to portray a “great man” struck down by a thunderbolt in the light of day, a line that has been emphasized in recent interpretations shared by The Sun.

Who this figure is meant to be remains unknown, with speculation ranging from royalty and politicians to global celebrities. The focus on daylight has only added to the unease, suggesting a sudden and very public moment.

A hint of hope

Despite the darkness of some of his predictions, Nostradamus also writes, “Shadows will fall, but the man of light will rise. And the stars will guide those who look within,” hinting at a glimmer of hope.
