Earth to quake in April


I originally posted this on April 4, 2024. Worth a review now …

—–

In recent weeks there have been several earthquakes of significance around the world.  While this is a standard occurrence, as months rarely go by without some level of seismic activity felt somewhere in the world, it is important to keep a finger on the pulse of the Earth, so to say.  This is because Nostradamus wrote of significant earthquakes occurring, which will bring about much of what he prophesied.

While the lines listed below come from seven quatrains, where the details of each quatrain places focus in various places, they are all linked together by the references to earthquakes (or some form of the verb “trembler”).  Four of the seven quatrains introduce the earthquake subject in the main theme line, which is line one.  This means the element of an earthquake is of primary importance.

In two quatrains the timing of May is stated (one translation possibility for “May”), with another stating the month of April.  Another quatrain hints at the sign of Taurus, which begins when the Sun enters that sign on April 20 and ends when the Sun leaves that sign on May 20.  When one reads the words “Sol twenty Taurus” as an indication of the Sun reaching the 20-degree mark of the sign Taurus, then that event will take place on May 11, 2014.

This is important to realize because of the recent earthquake activity around the world.  On March 10, 2014, an earthquake measuring 6.9 was recorded off the coast of California, near the town Eureka. (article)  An earthquake measuring 5.1 hit Los Angeles, California on March 28, 2014, followed by a 4.1 on March 29, 2014.  Aftershocks greater than 3.0 [three, as of April 4, 2014] have followed there, into the month of April. (list)  A 4.8 magnitude earthquake was registered near the caldera in Yellowstone Park, Wyoming on March 30, 2014, with a series of smaller tremors associated with it leading up to and after that quake.  There is a report that animals are fleeing the park, possibly because they sense something greater is about to occur. 

UPDATES: A magnitude-6.6 earthquake shook Nicaragua on Friday afternoon, April 11, 2014, less than 24 hours after a 6.1 quake in the same country.  Also, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 was recorded off Papua New Guinea’s remote Bougainville Island, April 11, 2014.  A tsunami warning is in effect for the Solomon Islands and the surrounding area after a 7.6-magnitude earthquake (originally measured at 8.3) hit the region on April 12, 2014. Then, another powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 struck off the Solomon Islands on Sunday night, hours after a 7.6 tremor, on April 13, 2014.  On Sunday night, April 13, 2014, Nicaragua was hit by magnitude-4.6 and magnitude-5.6 quakes, follow-up shocks from the 6.6 earthquake on Friday.  On Thursday, April 17, 2014, an earthquake measuring 6.2 hit in the region near the Balleny Islands, an non-populated arpeggio near Antarctica.  A Wikipedia article on the Balleny Islands says, “Strong earthquakes very close to the islands are rare, but tremors of moderate strength do occur” there.  The USGS calls this a “strong quake.”  On Friday, April 18, 2014, near Tecpan,Guerrero Region, Mexico (SW of Mexico City, NW of Acapulco), a major 7.3 (some say 7.5) magnitude earthquake was measured. On Saturday, April 19, 2014, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit in the Bougainville, Papua New Guinea region, in the Solomon Sea.  This activity has continues in that region, with a 5.2 aftershock coming 6+ minutes before a 7.5 major quake again on Saturday, April 19, 2014.  Several  5.0+ magnitude aftershocks were registered in the same region before and after, on the same date and the next.  That makes three 7+ magnitude quakes in the Solomon Sea, since April 11, 2014.  Another major earthquake hit in the Solomon Islands on Sunday, April 20, 2014, registering 6.1.  On April 23, 2014, Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada was stuck by a series of quakes, with the strongest registering 6.5 magnitude (a 5.0 and  4.2 shortly followed). On April 26, 2014, an earthquake registering 6.2 hit in the area of the Tonga Islands, in the Polynesian South Pacific.  In all, there were 13 earthquakes in April 2014, over a 6.0, considered “strong.”  For January through March 2014, only eight such earthquakes occurred, with four of those in February.  This makes April an oddity, but this total does not seem to fit this quatrain precisely.

Internationally, on March 21, 2014 there was a 6.7 earthquake off the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean.  Then, on April 2, 2014, there was an 8.2 earthquake off the coast of Chile, with aftershocks registering 7.6 and 6.4 occurring on April 3, 2014.  While there was no impact of the Indian Ocean earthquake, the Chile earthquakes cause a tsunami, severe damage, and some deaths.

All of this earthquake activity is to be seen as normal (this site lists all measured tremors), but they can take on greater significance when one reads the main theme (line one) of quatrain II-52 as, “Inwardly many nights there earth will quake.”  This can indicate an important (use of capitalization) “Inward” build-up, which is a shifting of the Earth’s “Inside.”  The result would then be “several” tremors and quakes being registered around the globe.  Rather than a statement of “nighttime,” the use of the word “nuits” can mean just how in the “dark” we are, as far as our dependence on science to forecast and predict earthquakes.  All of this activity (“twenty”) would not be the earthquakes of most importance, but a harbinger of what “will come,” through the future tense of “to tremble.”  That future is then beyond the activity of the “twenty,” leading to other quatrains that state, “so strong,” “quick tempo,” and “badly.”

I will state that the main theme of quatrain X-67, when read with the supporting theme and details of the other lines in that poem, is a perfect fit for the earthquake that hit Chile in May 1960.  That was the greatest earthquake ever measured, registering a 9.5 on the Richter scale.  The quatrain becomes a statement of elements that show the Bay of Pigs fiasco, which immediately faced the Kennedy administration.  However, as good as that fit is, the one thing about prophecy is this: If it happened once, it can happen again.

For quatrain X-67 to be a new earthquake event, one that will also occur in May, it will have to meet or surpass the 1960 event.  The recent earthquake in Chile may be a sign that the repeating of such a large quake is coming; but then next greatest quake of all-time will be someplace else.  The identifiers in these seven quatrains make Turkey and Greece the most prevalent places, with that not shocking news.

There will probably be two closely timed earthquake events, both within the same region.  Easter is identified in yet another quatrain that seems to indicate earthquake damage.  Still, it could be in Italy, as others indicate the discovery of long hidden tombs being raised for the first time in many centuries.  This will be a delight to archeologists; but the result will be close to the result in the movie The Mummy, when a curse was released upon the world.

Another significant effect of “several earthquakes” could very be the collapse of the Suez Canal.  This would have strategic implications, as it would greatly restrict traffic into and out of the Mediterranean Sea.  While all eyes will be on recent discoveries from the earthquake, while rescue and aid to the earthquake victims will be ongoing, there will be some major shifts in people from the Middle East to North Africa.  This will be seen as threatening to Italy, France, and Spain, but with all the world’s turmoil from natural disaster on-going, little will be done to protect Europe from a pending invasion.

That will commence the real purpose of The Prophecies, but it all is timed as beginning once major earthquakes will reshape the world’s surface.  Hopefully, none of this will occur at this time.  However, it will happen at some time, if nothing is done to change the direction the world is headed, which is and has been projected in the daily news for 100 years – as that will mark the 100th anniversary of World War I, which began on July 28, 1914.

Quatrain II-52, line one: Dans plusieurs nuits la terre tremblera,

Quatrain IX-83, line one: Sol vingt taurus si fort terre trembler,

Quatrain V-27, line three: Trembler Phatos Methelin, Sol allegro,

Quatrain VI-66, line four: Terre trembler en Avril, mal enfouetz.

Quatrain X-67, line one: Le tremblement si fort au mois de May,

Quatrain X-31, line one: Le tremblement de terre à Mortara,

Quatrain VI-88, line four: Lors que dans May seront terres trembles.

Simple translations of the above:

Inwardly a considerable number nights there earth will quake,

Ground twenty bull so strong earth to quake,

To quake Oracle [as Fatos] Methelin [possibly Mytelene], Ground fast tempo,

Earth to quake into April, badly ones buried in lava.

It quaking so strong in the month of May,

It quaking to earth at Mortara [Italy],

Then that inwardly May will be lands quaked ones.

Afterword: Reading the quatrains as I have done above only leads to secondary intent and purpose for that written, if al all. Because each word must be read individually and understood, before going to the next word and then the next (etcetera), the same words can offer multiple meanings. Still, it is fun knowing earthquakes are so common and Nostradamus wrote multiple quatrains that make the reader expect an earthquake.

Consider the religious group known as Quakers. President ‘Tricky Dick’ (Richard Nixon) was a Quaker. According to the early explanation for that name for a religious group: “The name “Quaker” originated in the 17th century when the Religious Society of Friends, founded by George Fox, was being persecuted. Early Quakers were known for their intense religious experiences, including shaking or trembling during worship, which some saw as a sign of being moved by the Spirit.” As Jerry Lee Lewis (old rockabilly personality) would say, there was “A whole lotta shakin goin on.” Certainly, Nostradamus was not referring to that religious group, but the point to be made is people (made of matter, thus “earth”) will “tremble” and “shake” when filled with fear.

Still, when megabombs are going off nearby, the “ground” (terre) will “shake” and “quake.” So, there are other ways to read these; but one quatrain read as an island loses context. The quatrains must be placed in a proper order, following the rules laid out in the letters, so the “trembling” and “quaking” makes perfect sense.

Quatrain X-67


This article was directed to the news of some man named Frank said Nostradamus predicted a May 28, 2015 event, which would be a 9.8 magnitude earthquake in (presumably) California, at 4:00 PM. I felt the need to respond to such hogwash, even if (given today’s news and the decline of California over the last twenty year) a 9.8 magnitude ‘rolling’ earthquake would finally split California in half and drown all the Democrats who elect idiots to run their state into the ocean. Alas, Nostradamus was Eurocentric and saw no earthquakes outside of the Aegean Sea – Black Sea region.

And, because of the news today, we know Frank had a slight miscalculation back in the day. Here is what I posted then:

—–

This morning I read an article on the Internet that reported a video that was becoming popular.  The video used the name Nostradamus to support a claim that there would be a 9.8 magnitude earthquake (in California most probably, around 4:00 PM).  While the person [Frank] stated it was voices that told him to warn the world of this event that would happen on May 28, 2015, it was Nostradamus’ Quatrain X-67 that seemed to support what he found on his computer program that plotted planetary positions.

Completely separate from any prediction of a major earthquake that will happen on May 28, 2015, at 4:00 PM PST, I felt it necessary to clear up misinformation the video stated about what Nostradamus wrote, and what that means/meant.

First, he made the claim that there are many mistranslations of Nostradamus’ quatrains.  This is a fact.  He also claimed that the translations he found (while doing an Internet search) left out a comma here and there, while changing what was actually written to be something else.  This is most often the case, as the English translation of Old French always becomes a paraphrase of what is stated.

Here is quatrain X-67, as published in the 1568 Lyon edition:

This can be difficult to read, due to the lack of pristine printing capabilities in the 16th century, and it being a reproduction of a paper page in a copy machine; but it shows this:

Le tremblement si fort au mois de May,

Saturne caper, Jupiter Mercure au beuf,

Venus aussi cancer, Mars en Nonay

Tombera gresse lors plus grosse qu’en œuf.

This literally translates (so that no paraphrasing occurs) as:

The trembling so strong in the month of May,

Saturn goat, Jupiter Mercury with the ox [bull],

Venus also crab, Mars upon Nun

Will fall hail then more large that in egg.

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus then leads me to modify the above translation, such that the first line being not with an article, but with the pronoun identified with the word “le.”  That becomes best suited as “It,” such that “The” is then identified with a particular “trembling,” one known globally to be “It” predicted to eventually come, as far as ‘trembling, quaking, and shaking” is concerned.  Whereas that commonly means the trembling of an earthquake, the same fears are not just felt in one geographic location where an earthquake of major magnitude strikes, but a global fear sets in because of one [“Le,” read as the singular number article, “A”] catastrophic event (of which a major earthquake may or may not be that event).

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus also leads me to realize that each line is separated for a purpose, with that purpose included to infer a separation of time taking place, between the event(s) of one line and that following, especially when a comma ends a line.  As such, reading “May” as a significant “month” as time, where not only is the 28th of significance, but all of the days that include “May,” but also a “month” of days leading to “May.”  This means line one takes place for one “month,” and not just one hour of one day.

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus, especially as a certified astrologer [one who initially saw quatrains like X-67 just like the Frank person sees it], is that: A.) No string of words written in a line of a quatrain can be spit out as one “sentence” or singular statement – at least as the primary reading – because each word bears individual importance that must be understood separate from the others, before adding that value to the next and rest; and B.) The language of Astrology is itself a language stating symbolic meaning, which cannot be condensed into one simple statement of time (as: Jupiter and Mercury conjunct in Taurus will occur on this day and last for this long).

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus then leads me to see the use of lower case presentations of “caper,” “beuf,” and “cancer” as not being the signs Capricorn, Taurus and Cancer, but Latin and French root words, from which the signs take their names.  Thus, the symbolism of a “he-goat,” “beef-ox-bull,” and “crab-disease” come into play in interpreting this quatrain, more than does a reading as indicating distant star grouping.  Even still, Astrology applies symbolic meaning to each star sign, which become a more important (yet secondary) application to the symbolic meaning of individual planets stated.

My initial interpretation of this quatrain (as an astrologer looking for the timing of planets being in signs), factoring in the time separations, such that one planet’s placement did not have to coincide with the next placement listed, but become prior in sequence, making a statement of time stretch over as much as a year’s time (more or less), led me not to look to the future, but to the past.  The greatest earthquake of recorded seismic activity (the Richter Scale) was the 1960 Valvida (Chile) earthquake, which measured 9.5 on the measurement scales, causing tsunamis and multiple land disasters – both prior to and subsequent to the actual quake.  Further, all of this activity took place in the “month of May,” with the earthquake taking place on Sunday, May 22, 1960.

I wrote an interpretation of this quatrain in 2004, which I published in my book Pearls Before Swine, Volume 1: Predicting the Past (2005, AuthorHouse).  I have reproduced this article (without editing) on my website, which can no longer be read anywhere, due to many years passing and things changing. The article was entitled: Quatrain X-67 Interpretation. [Let me just say the earthquake of The Prophecies still to come will open the earth deeply, cause problems with narrow straits and canals, while exposing ancient Roman satanic secrets. That will be in one place; and, like the 1960 earthquake that caused a tsunami that spread east from Chile, there might be residual earthquakes elsewhere, also doing great damage. Nostradamus did not predict any of those.]

My updated understanding of how to read Nostradamus tells me that regardless of how much of the past can be read into the quatrains of The Prophecies of Nostradamus, everything can still be predictive of something else still to come.  This becomes a reflection of “history repeating itself,” such that the strongest earthquake ever recorded (in 1960) can still be topped.

This information does nothing to belittle the “Spirit” that “Frank” heard, leading him to make a video to warn the world about May 28, 2015.  It merely addresses his association of that voice’s warning, with his view of the Earth’s system and alignments and his remembering something about Nostradamus possibly being relevant.  I like to clarify all improper associations, poor translations, and misinterpretations of Nostradamus quatrains.
