Nostradamus, the 16th-century French astrologer, is said to have predicted a tumultuous 2025, including a major war involving the UK and a resurgence of plague-like disease. His book Les Propheties contains 942 quatrains that supporters claim foresaw events such as the Great Fire of London, the rise of Hitler, the Covid pandemic, and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
According to interpretations, Nostradamus warned that 'those from the lands of Europe' would face 'cruel wars' in 2025, with the UK directly involved. He also wrote that 'the ancient plague will be worse than enemies,' suggesting a severe health crisis. Additionally, he predicted an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict due to 'exhaustion' of both armies and natural disasters in Brazil, including volcanic activity and flooding.
Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, who died in 1996, echoed similar themes for 2025. She foresaw a global apocalypse, a new war in Europe, an alien visitation, and the perfection of telepathy. Vanga is credited with predicting 9/11, Brexit, and the 2023 solar storm, though many remain sceptical of her prophecies.
Critics argue that Nostradamus's vague verses can be interpreted to fit any event, and Baba Vanga's predictions are often misattributed. Nonetheless, the parallel warnings from these two figures have sparked interest as 2025 approaches.
