French astrologer, Nostradamus' forecasts from over 500 years ago have proven to be eerily accurate, and according to these predictions, the future of 2023 is looking pretty bleak.

In 1555, Nostradamus released his book Les Prophéties. which is now famous among the generations. The book contains 942 prophesies that seem to foreshadow certain horrible events.

However, according to media reports, some of Nostradamus' forecasts may come true in 2023. Owing to the impending cost-of-living crisis and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Nostradamus claimed that while 2022 was a pretty horrible year, 2023 will be no better.


Heavenly blaze

In another of his works, the astrologer Nostradamus predicted a "Celestial fire on the Royal edifice." While the prediction casts a sense of impending danger, especially to the royal palace, it can also refer to the Biblical reference of Doomsday, that is also know as the "end of times". The event is closely connected with the occurrence of a firestorm. The creation of a new world order from the rubble of the old is meant to herald the end of the world as we know it.

In his book of prophecies, Nostradamus also made several cryptic references to the "light on Mars falling." The planet's seemingly backward motion in the sky, might lend to the explanation of Mars being in retrograde.

It can also be viewed as a metaphor for humanity's ambitions to colonise the Earth. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and the recent acquisition of Twitter, has long projected that humans will step foot on Mars by 2029.
