Nostradamus, the 16th-century astrologer, is subject to new interpretations of his prophecies for 2026. Followers claim his writings foretell a popular world figure being struck by a 'thunderbolt,' potentially indicating assassination or a political coup. Other predictions suggest a Swiss region overflowing with blood and a 'great swarm of bees by night' symbolizing political ambush. These interpretations are based on his 1555 book, 'The Prophecies,' which contains poetic quatrains analyzed for global events.
