Nostradamus C8 Q49: The axis shift behind the religious wars of the 22nd century
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, 2022

Verse C8 Q49 has the theme of death as one of its distinctive word plays.

Although this and the astronomic description in its text hints at connections with the quote alongside it is the anagrams hidden in its lettering that provide the strongest connections.

In the second line where the text says 'the sixth of February brings death' the lettering encourages an anagrammatic message along the line 'fixed axis tremor'  and 'mortal ordinate rationalised'.

It is this type of wording, backed by names of stars and terms used for locations of stars in the text, that caused me to link this verse with the quote. These same factors plus the common theme of death then led me to pair it with verse C6 Q06.

The clusters that can be discerned in the anagrams act as guides to where in the sky the most notable changes to the traditional sky pattern are seen but at the same time they provide chatter and live situations that accompany these awesome events.

Of course the text is crucial in this role but it is apparent  that in the anagrams there are other details like brigands, autarchies and executions that fit comfortably into the story portrayed in the text.

What is very apparent is that this set of rare anagrams yields a high number of quite specific names. This  has been one of the ongoing frustrations felt towards Nostradamus for hiding his message as he did.

But it is apparent he did as claimed and left means by which specific detail can be uncovered.

Names by their nature  must inevitably be post hoc, that is they are only recognisable when the situation in which they are relevant has happened.

Yet since eternally held star names like Gienab and Aegina can be discerned in the anagrams we have a good chance to measure the accuracy of Nostradamus' accuracy when and if this horrendous event takes place.

It cannot change the greater event, but does have the ability to give useful insight into the human reactions.
