Nostradamus C5 Q53: The astronomy of Polaris displaces the planets of Astrology.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

The following verse makes sense when seen as Nostradamus commenting on those who predict while under the unfluence of drugs.

The anagrams appear like an inspired revelation whick distinguishes his method of prophecy from that of his predecessors. (See C.5 Q.61 for another example).

The overarching principle is the manner in which he encodes epochs using Polaris rather than planets. And he does this by the use of repeated letter groupings that form countable props and in creating them he used those props used in earlier literature as his starting point.
