When I last left you, we’d taken a look at a Nostradamus spread and I intimated that while researching, Nostradamus was showing signs. These signs area combination of images & information- which I will admit that so e took me down rabbit holes, but others did lead to some interesting things.
Throughout this reading, the image of the Judgment card kept coming to the fore and does make an appearance in odd ways.
I feel that in order to glean an understanding, I will start with the last card/quatrain I pulled in the series of the previous reading with question posed:
Q. Does Washington DC fall?
A. Two of Stars (2 Swords; II)
Quatrain: LIX, pg 175
Two besieged, being in a burning heat,
Shall die for thirst of want of two Bowls full
The Fort being sealed, an old doting man,
Shall show to the Genoese the way to Nizza
On the surface, it would appear that two people are locked evenly in some type of race or battle - besieged. Two bowls full - no idea, a building sealed, an old man and then the People of “Genoa” are shown the way/given directions to Nizza.
The “fort being sealed”? Is this a reference to 6 January or a reference to someone being “locked out” of the White House?
Here’s the my interpretation from the last newsletter:
“My interpretation: I am of the opinion that if 45* runs, he and DeSantis will be in a dead statiscal heat. The phrase “old doting man” is reminiscent of Kim Jung Un’s definition of 45* as a “dotard”.”
Since November 2020, I’ve been conducting readings surrounding American elections and using Nostradamus to do so as he lived during a very political time. Since 2020 and a bit before, the world has seen the rise of fascism & authoritarianism and I believe that the arc of history does indeed repeat itself.
Authoritarian leaders, dictators and even ruthless monarchs have come and gone but not without subjecting those under their rule to scary & difficult times.
Everyone on Earth is under the influence of Pluto, who spends between 12 - 30 years in a sign due to its elliptical orbit. 27 November 2008 Pluto entered Capricorn - the last he was here in Capricorn for America was 1776.
For America, 2008 saw the election of this country’s first Black president, but also ushered in the Great Recession where the banks got too big for their breeches and failed. In 1760, Pluto ushered in the revolution of a new nation and the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Pluto the planet of elimination and regeneration and Capricorn being the sign of ambition and authority, we saw in 2008, what happens when a bank’s ambition gets ahead of itself and having to depend on the authorities to help it out. Likewise, back in the 1760s with the industrial revolution, we saw great gains in America, Great Britain and continental Europe. We also see the start of the American Revolutionary War, a war in which the new citizens of the New Land wanted to eliminate the old guard and start something new: Democracy.
I left you in the last newsletter speaking of the New Hampshire presidential primary and feel that this will be key in determining De Santis’ entry into the race.
The New Hampshire presidential primary is the first in a series of nationwide party primary elections and the second party contest (the first being the Iowa caucuses) held in the United States every four years as part of the process of choosing the delegates to the Democratic and Republican national conventions which choose the party nominees for the presidential elections to be held the subsequent November.
In answering the third question of the series:
Will De Santis be the next US President?
The answer was the Prince of Suns and the accompanying quatrain mentioned a place called Candia. I found a “Candia New Hampshire” on the map and feel that this was Nostradamus’ way of pointing me in the direction of the NH primaries. We must also not forget New Hampshire attempts to call voter fraud in the 2020 election nor the slate of fake electors that were put forth from several states.
The name “Thessalia” points the way to an ancient greek country and both Rome and Greece have influence on our system of democratic governance.
The Italian Republics from the 12th century to the Renaissance
“Constitutional oligarchies”
After the western Roman Empire collapsed in 476, the Italian Peninsula broke up into a congeries of smaller political entities. About six centuries later, in northern Italy, some of these entities developed into more or less independent city-states and inaugurated systems of government based on wider—though not fully popular—participation and on the election of leaders for limited periods of time. In this respect, their governments may be viewed as small-scale precursors of later representative systems. Such governments flourished for two centuries or more in a number of cities, including Venice, Florence, Siena, and Pisa.
After about the mid-14th century, the conditions that had favored the existence of independent city-states and wider participation in government—particularly their economic growth and the civic loyalty of their populations—gradually disappeared. Economic decline, corruption, factional disputes, civil wars, and wars with other states led to the weakening of some republican governments and their eventual replacement by authoritarian rulers, whether monarchs, princes, or soldiers.
But it is the Grecian model that most resembles the United States system of governance today. You can read about this here: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/greek-influence-us-democracy
Even today, you will hear various Americans describing our country as a democracy or a “republic”. There are slight differences and you can read full article here on difference between democracy & republic:

What we do know is that democracy is under attack around the world, but here in America, it has been a particularly peculiar “attack” - one done out in the open with many of our own citizens participating. But this goes back to my statement of “the arc of history repeating itself” because while Pluto was making moves through Capricorn in the 1770s, there were revolutions happening across the globe as well.
1775 - American Revolutionary War
1787 - French Revolution
1789 - The Haitian Revolution
And between 1732 - 1867, Russian colonize a part of America.
At one point in the 1700s, Palermo Italy/Sicily was the capital of Italy and was under the House of Savoy. This is where I first see the Judgment card make an appearance, for the flag of Savoy looks like this. The Judgment flag comes up again here and here and comes up in connection with the Bank of St George in Genoa, credited to be the first European banking system.
Now, I’ve no idea why Nostradamus is pointing me to this part of history, Italy, Palermo, the Bank of St. George save to say that across the arc of time, he saw something worth speaking of again. Oddly enough while researching this information, I stumbled across a painting from the Mary Evans Picture Project called “Train on the Genoa to Nizza”. And while I don’t believe in coincidences, what stood out to me about the painting is the lone figure standing in the water off shore - that quatrain saying the “great leader would be found in a barn by the sea”.
Other odd “signs” or image that has been surfacing are the fake Presidential seal of 45* and his stolen crest of arms for Mar-a-Lago. So I asked Nostradamus - Hey! What’s with all the weird flags and crests and Italian history? Because by this point, Nostradamus was beginning to work my nerves….
And he gave me four additional cards:
Three of Moons (synthesis of the previous three cards), The Heirophant , The Chariot and The Devil. It would be an entire book if I were to break this down for you here, so will promise to come back with the interpretations of the additional four cards. But here’s what I’m going to say:
I feel these signs are pointing to something that happened in history in Italy during its turbulent political times, I also feel he is pointing us towards banks - namely European (perhaps Switzerland due to the presence of the Judgment flag) and is telling us to “follow the money”, but he is also pointing us to “royal houses” or pretenders of royal houses by clearly pointing to the House of Savoy as the ruling government when the Revolutions of 1848 in Italy or the 5 Days of Milan occurred. I have also been hearing the phrase “five before him”. If this refers to presidents, then this would take us back to President Reagan as if to say “it starts/started with him”. I found this article somewhat explaining what this might mean.
My overall take is that if De Santis does win, there will be another split in the Republican party - another faction - as it were- and then based upon the additional four cards, it does not look pretty. There are murky secrets surrounding the 2024 Republican nominee - no matter who but I also honestly feel that if 45* (who has been threatening to throw his hat in the ring very soon) - does not win the nomination he will loose the hounds of hell on those in the party who do not carry the water.
I think looking back through the arc of history and Pluto’s transit, we are being given an opportunity in real time, to examine the integrity of political, commercial, legal, and religious establishments that we believe will afford us protection in an ever-changing world. This transit of Pluto addresses the shadow of allegiance, exposing an obvious truth. That investing our time and resources into safeguarding the status quo is rarely rewarded with prosperity or even basic security. Our fidelity only serves to advance the agendas of the so-called Plutocracy, of those already in power.
But it also gives us the opportunity to possibly revamp our lifestyles and look over our values. As Pluto begins his approach into Aquarius, we have begun to withdraw our support from systems - bureaucracy, corporations, and even the law itself, and a power vacuum has been created. We now find ourselves splintered and governed by two distinct ideologies. Both Capricorn and Aquarius (in ancient times) are ruled by Saturn and it is about cowardice, fear, status quo, rules, laws, leaders vs freedom, groups, fearlessness in the face of the future, equity and equality, invention and humankind.
