Hi Al !!!
One of my fav reading topics " nostradarmus "
Simply fascinating for a man to know and predict with confidence .
My friend studied astrology in his spare time and learnt how to read birth charts. He believes it is definitely a science with great potential for prediction. Even that the planetary positions to a large extent determine the nature and many other life events for a person.

This reminded me.. It would fascinate some people while make others feel uncomfy, but , the trend today is designer babies !!!
I mean , people who believe in astrology and strong influence of the charts on a mans life have begun to decide the time for delivery of their baby so that the baby is born under the most favorable planetry influences.

I'd say.....undecided regarding Nostradamus. Critics insist that his quatrains were so vague that it was easy to assign them to whatever contemporary or future event. I think that critics are often over critical.
I have been more impressed recently with the "predictions" of a man who is said to be the most profound psychic mind of the 20th century. I'm referring to Edgar Cayce. Ever heard of him?

It is a very complicated science to even figure out one single event, very time consuming. To calcualte 12 planets, compare your birth chart, then all the angles as well as a number of nodes and mid heavens, it is extremely complex.
The problem with Nostradamus is that his quatrains were written in older dialects and the translations are somewhat cryptic .. I think he knew what he meant when he wrote them, but there is something that makes it misunderstandable.
A lot of debunkers say that you can find any prediction after its event, go back and say, see Nostradamus predicted that... and I think that is true.. which sometimes cause me to think why did he do it this way? A man able to predict his own death time without doubt, but not be able to produce dates for future events, unless he did not look for dates, just for events? Did he lack some knowledge that would give him time frames for his predictions at the very least? If he knew those time frames why would he not include them and instead only provide character or event descriptions?
very curious.

ohh yes .. have read about him esp. wrt. Astral travel , color therap and the astral and aural stuff.
His predictions i havent really paid attention to.
But with Nostradarmus , i believe they say the script language when translated can become ambigious in interpretation. Also , that the time pattern he used as you mention isnt directly applicable to present times. Not sure really ..

yep, the aura reader, of course though I have only read about reading auras for medical diagnosis and treatment. I was not aware he produced predictions though.

Ahhhh I have read that part Al !!
And also that he was under the influence of ' spirits " apparently when he made the predictions. He was in to Black magic they say.
The predictions are fairly accurate if you backtrace except the timing which i guess we dont understand entirely.

well I guess its not so inconcieveable, since doctors regularily perform C-sections or induce the woman when it suits thier schedule ...------ This thread is Archived ------
BnaturAl: Nostradamus was one of the early astrologers. He among other things predicted the moment of his death. Astrology is a very complex study and it is said that you if included the time it took him to learn to make predictions, that he spent about 2 years just to learn about that one split second when he would pass on. remove the time it took him to learn to make calculations and that time becomes about one hour. A lot of time spent still, to learn about one second of life. (death actually)
His books have been translated and read about as much as any major book has. When world events reach a crissis, such as 911, websites regarding Nostradamus and his predictions get more hits than you can shake a stick at.
Are his predictions true?
Do they have any value in a society looking for answers?

He was no fool, but he was human; I put my trust in God.

Well that sort of makes sense. I am not up on my history well enough to guess what the times were like then, about how people felt about such things .. I know they burned witches in some places and such but when Nostradamus was doing his thing?
It would make sense then if he was said to be into black magic, to comporte himself in this manner as well. possible, but just conjecture on my part. Witches today comporte themselves differently as do astrologers of today as well.
Perhaps time was of no concern to him? Perhaps his quatrains were written as a 'black magic artist would write them'?

Yes !!!
But i am against C- section to suit the need . I know its a personal choice and the reason here i believe is " for their child " but am not totally happy with the idea.
Around the time of delivery ( expected ) or even after safe viable period is crossed , people consult their doctors and astrologers alike and come to a consensus regarding the date. If all goes well ... Cs section on scheduled time !!!

hmm... further translating his writings is painstaking !!
I am sure you are aware of some book written by him which lay with his grandson all the while and was translated and published recently.
I read this on the net.
Uhh.. It had predictions to do with world war III in particular and events then on.
