Nostradamus C5 Q14: Masonic interest in the nature of comets affects the 21stC.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

The intent of this verse is set by key anagrams such as Masonic (omain ſc), unifocal (au conflic), health (althe H), persistence (in ſceptre ſe), euphoric (iue Proch), permeation (pe Et Romain), attract (ct attra), Romantics (t Romain ſc), tacit (ict at), releasement (rne et Mars el), inspect (in ſcept), prescient (in ſceptre), Aapep (ape Pa, appe), meteor (e Et Rom), rock (r coq, roch), Piscean (ain ſcep), apogees (eo Eſpag). These keys align with the stories of late in this century in which the earth is bombarded by a devastating meteor storm that changes human biology.

The anagrams giving a frame to this verse include:

1. Agen pact if use natures stream lone pages numerate apogees releasement
2.  Eparch attract uueaq unifocal paper Aapep fly by
3. Vesperin euphoric crop her deed echoed male health hamlet pride
4. Moira prescient persistence Apep meteor rocq Masonic paper permeation

C5 Q14

Saturn and Mars in Leo Spain captive,
By the African chief trapped in the conflict,
Near Malta, Herod taken alive,
And  Roman scepter struck down by the Cock.

Saturne et Mars en Leo Eſpagne captifue
Par chef Lybique au conflict attrape
Proche de Malthe Heredde prinſe viue
Et Romain ſceptre ſera par coq frappe.

Extra Info:

The verse is also one of those that has a deducable astronomic date setting included in its text. Mars orbital period is just under two years which means that it spends about two months in each sign. Saturn's period is about 28 years so it spends about the same time in any sign as it takes Mars to cover all twelve. There is therefore a two month period in every 28 years and about twenty-two dates in 600 years which can fulfil Nostradamus' astronomic setting in this verse. The wording of the verse implies that no other stellar body is present in Leo at the time and so the presence of others eliminates most of the possible dates. Of the four dates possible in this century only those of June to July 2036 and September to October 2096 fulfil these conditions. However the war setting in the verse seems more in keeping with Nostradamus' story about the end of this century thus making 2096CE the most likely date. This is supported by the anagrams, especially those in the fourth line which references a meteor that causes death.
