Nostradamus, the famed 16th-century astrologer whose cryptic verses continue to spark debate more than 500 years after his death, is once again drawing attention—this time for a series of ominous predictions linked to the year 2026.
His famous work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains, has long been credited by believers with foretelling major historical events, including the Great Fire of London, Adolf Hitler’s rise, both World Wars, and even the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Because of these alleged accuracies, many remain convinced that Nostradamus possessed an uncanny ability to glimpse the future.
Now, four specific passages have been revisited by modern interpreters, and some believe they paint a troubling picture of what 2026 may hold.

Seven months of war
One of the most frequently cited verses reads: “Seven months great war, people dead through evil / Rouen, Evreux the King will not fail.” According to reports from The Mirror, experts familiar with Nostradamus’ writings suggest this may point to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
What unsettles readers most is the mention of a timeline. Rather than a brief clash, the verse implies prolonged suffering stretching over months. The reference to European cities has also fueled fears that the conflict could widen beyond its current borders. To believers, this passage feels less like vague poetry and more like a warning with a countdown.
A terrifying swarm
Another chilling prophecy associated with 2026 comes from Passage I:26, which states: “The great swarm of bees will arise… by night the ambush…”
While the imagery sounds almost fantastical, many modern interpreters argue it has nothing to do with actual insects. Instead, the “swarm” is often linked to advanced warfare tactics—particularly coordinated drone attacks, autonomous weapons, or unseen technological threats. The idea of a silent, sudden force striking without warning mirrors contemporary fears surrounding cyber warfare and mass surveillance.

Rivers running red
In another verse written in French, Nostradamus wrote: “Because of the favor the city will show… the Ticino will overflow with blood…”
Ticino, a peaceful region in southern Switzerland known for its alpine scenery and quiet towns, is not typically associated with violence. Switzerland’s long-standing neutrality makes this prophecy especially disturbing. Some believe the verse suggests widespread unrest in Europe, with Ticino’s proximity to northern Italy raising concerns about conflict spilling across borders.
The death of a prominent figure
One of the most discussed verses hints at the sudden death of a powerful or famous individual. In Century I, Verse 26, Nostradamus describes a “great man” struck down by a thunderbolt in broad daylight—a line recently highlighted by interpretations shared by The Sun.
The identity of this figure remains a mystery, prompting speculation about world leaders, royalty, or global celebrities. The emphasis on daylight suggests a shocking and very public event, adding to the unease surrounding this prediction.
A glimmer of hope
Despite the dark tone of many of these interpretations, Nostradamus also offered words that some see as reassuring. One verse reads: “Shadows will fall, but the man of light will rise. And the stars will guide those who look within.”
To believers, this suggests that even amid chaos and fear, hope and renewal may still emerge.
