The End Is Near? Top Psychics Reveal Shocking Predictions For 2025
Four renowned psychics-Baba Vanga, Nostradamus, Athos Salome, and Nicolas Aujula-have all predicted troubling events in 2025, warning of global chaos. Baba Vanga foresaw devastating earthquakes linked to climate change and a war in Europe marking the start of "humanity's downfall". Nostradamus, in Les Propheties, predicted a cruel war involving the UK, with internal and external threats, and the return of a deadly covid-like pandemic. Athos Salome and Nicolas Aujula have echoed similar concerns, suggesting major unrest ahead. These shared prophecies have raised global concern and intense discussion about what the rest of the year might hold. According to a New York Post report, Brazilian psychic Athos Salome, 38, who has been known as a living Nostradamus for predicting momentous events like Queen Elizabeth's death, also believes that WWIII is on our doorstep and that "the worst is yet to come". This conflict will be perhaps scarier than in years past, as tech and cyber warfare will become the modus operandi for 21st-century combatants. "This is not just a war of men but of machines, and in this aspect, what comes next?" lamented Salome. Another member of this apocalyptic quartet, London hypnotherapist Nicolas Aujula, 38, believes that war could break out by the middle of this year due to a "lack of compassion in the world". Based on his psychic visions, "We will see horrific acts of human evil and violence towards each other in the name of religion and nationalism." These unsettling predictions come at a time of rising global instability. Conflicts continue to escalate, with ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan and no resolution in sight for the Russo-Ukraine war. Recent geopolitical shifts-such as Sweden's NATO membership in March and Finland joining in April 2023-have significantly expanded NATO's border with Russia. Adding to the tension, Moscow recently warned the UK against forming a "coalition of the willing" in Ukraine, cautioning that such actions could trigger a nuclear World War Three. Against this backdrop, the psychics' warnings feel all the more alarming.

How is Nostradamus's 'end of the world' prediction linked to the Pope's death?
Nostradamus's predictions about a potential end-of-the-world scenario are getting scarier as more global events take place, the latest being the death of Pope Francis this week. The Vatican confirmed on Easter Monday that he died at the age of 88. Through his iconic book Les Propheties, Nostradamus, whose real name is Michel de Nostredame, made 942 predictions about the future all the way back in 1555, with many of them coming true. Nostradamus's predictions about a potential end-of-the-world scenario are getting scarier as more global events take place, the latest being the death of Pope Francis this week. Pic: Apic/Getty Images Within his dark predictions was also the death of a 'very old' Pope and a warning about the weakening of the Catholic Church. The astrologer wrote: 'Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity.' And he also hinted at the successor, describing him as 'a young man of dark skin'. Pope Francis. Pic: LisaWhile of course 'prophecies' are to be taken with a grain of salt, one candidate Nostradamus could be talking about is Peter Turkson. Turkson had been tipped to become the pope in 2013 when Francis was chosen, so he is a major frontrunner this time round again. The Ghanaian would be the first black Pope if elected to succeed Francis. Nostradamus.

He has previously said that laws in many African countries are too harsh for same-sex marriage, but also noted their views must be respected. While this 2025 prediction isn't the scary bit, Nostradamus's other outlooks for the next coming years are looking even more grim, especially since more and more of them are coming true. He wrote: 'From the cosmos, a fireball will rise, a harbinger of fate, the world pleads. Science and fate in a cosmic dance, the fate of the Earth, a second chance.' Terrifying? We think so! Nostradamus also prophesied that a major war (such as the Russia-Ukraine war or the conflict in the Middle East, perhaps?) will come to an end soon. Combining all of these prophecies, the 'cosmos fireball' is worrisome, to say the least. However, since Nostradamus has been dead for, well, many years now (since July 2, 1566, to be exact), a lot of this can be interpreted in different ways. For example, the 'fireball' could be a period of turmoil in the world, followed by a 'second chance' for humanity. Time will tell, we suppose!

SARAH VINE: Forget tariffs... it's a proper crisis when the tills break down at our beloved M&S!
Forget the ravens in the Tower of London. Forget the King asleep in his cave and the eagles circling the mountain top. The surest sign that the Kingdom is in mortal peril is the news that the tills stopped working at Marks & Spencer over the Easter weekend. As portents of doom go, this must surely be a serious one. The Pope may be dead, but what about the fact that in Bexleyheath shoppers can't use their contactless cards? Did Nostradamus mention this in his Les Propheties? He might have done. 'And on the day of the Risen Christ / In the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-five/ the tillers of Spencer and Marc shalt fayle and fall silent / And the people will be refused their three-pack loin coverings and porcine confectionery / And verily Sparks will fly.' Chilling. The panic was palpable. There was righteous anger on social media. 'I've tried to return some clothing to the Camden store and have been told that your wi-fi has been down company-wide since Saturday so I can't return them,' fumed one customer. Another: 'Went to @marksandspencer did a full food shop only to be told that I can't use contactless. Heading to Waitrose now instead.' Some reported apocalyptic scenes: 'In a queue with ten customers at @marksandspencer, I was the only person remaining when they announced that their contactless service was not working on their card machine.' (Which begs the question: what happened to the others?) Yet another: 'When you drive 20 minutes for breakfast at the cafe but there's a company-wide issue, contactless isn't working and they decide to close the cafe.' Setting aside the fact that driving 20 minutes to find breakfast in a supermarket cafe seems a little excessive, the strength of feeling at what is, after all, a fairly minor inconvenience, offers an interesting insight into the importance of Marks & Spencer in the national conscience. Or, to coin a phrase, this isn't just any technical glitch, this is an M&S technical glitch. No store, not even John Lewis, comes close to Marks and Sparks in the hearts of British shoppers. It is as quintessentially British as the Royal Family, rain-lashed beaches and endless cups of milky tea. It is the closest we have these days to a national identity we all share. It also – despite the occasional hiccup – represents quality, reliability, consistency. No wonder the general public was so freaked out by this meltdown. In an uncertain and troubling world, M&S stands as a beacon of stability against the wild seas of misfortune (and, let's face it, those seas have been quite wild of late). Everything else may be crashing down around our heads, but so long as you can get a prawn sandwich and a packet of Percy Pigs from M&S, all is well. It's civilisation. The Greeks invented democracy, the Romans devised the aqueducts, we built Marks and Sparks. Indeed, growing up in Rome, my mother's first port of call on trips home was always M&S. The flagship store in Oxford Street was her favourite: she once disappeared for five hours into its comforting embrace, stocking up on pyjamas and underwear to take back with her. I found her in the food hall buying all the raspberry jellies (her favourite). Her mother was the same. My grandfather had strict instructions for the weekly shop. The basics were to be obtained from Sainsbury's. But the important groceries – real fruit juice, certain vegetables, quiche and good apples – were to be procured strictly at Marks. They were eked out during the week, small slices of delicious luxury. Even now, when I'm feeling a bit discombobulated, I find a trip to Marks soothing. The clothes are neither too cheap nor too expensive, neither too fashion forward nor too frumpy. Some years they're better than others (this year is an especially good one) but, overall, the quality is consistent. One of the oldest items of clothing I own is a wool cape I bought there in the Nineties; my daughter recently discovered it and won't stop wearing it. Marks and Sparks caters for everyone – tall, short, fat, thin, old, young. But at its essence its secret is simple: affordable quality. But also trust, reliability, a fair price for a good product – in other words, old-fashioned British values. Better get those tills fixed, guys; we don't want a revolution. There should be plenty of sympathy for Marianne It seems rather sad that Marianne Faithfull – singer, model, rock 'n' roll muse and the inspiration for Rolling Stones classics such as Wild Horses and You Can't Always Get What You Want – died leaving assets worth just £35,000. For a few years she was instrumental to the image of the band and its leading man, Mick Jagger. Indeed, arguably the Stones would not have been so successful were it not for the glamour her bohemian lifestyle lent them. One of their most famous songs, Sympathy For The Devil, was inspired by The Master And Margarita, a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, which Faithfull introduced Jagger to – and yet what thanks did she get? Hers is a tale familiar to so many women who give their all to support the men they love then somehow find themselves with no one to turn to in their hour of need. I understand that Prince Andrew is a problematic character for the Royal Family, but I really don't see why this has any bearing on his right to attend church with them at Easter. Indeed, I would have thought that if anything, he should be encouraged to atone for his sins. Now that we finally have clarity on the definition of a woman, can we please stop using the term 'cis'? It's ugly, derogatory – and, crucially, redundant. Males who mark their territory with urine are common in the animal kingdom. I thought humans were more sophisticated – but judging by the actions of trans protesters last week, apparently not. Cries of 'we pee where we want' and 'I love p***ing on Terfs' accompanied footage of activists in a ladies' loo, aggressively chanting 'Where we do our business is none of your business!' As someone who has owned several male pets, I'm afraid there's only one cure for this kind of behaviour. A quick trip to the vet should fix it. Following Newsnight's decision to almost completely ignore last week's Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman, the BBC's comedy show, Have I Got News For You, failed to mention it at all – despite it being the leading news item of the week. You might have thought that, as seasoned satirists, show regulars Paul Merton and Ian Hislop and their guests – including Julian Clary, who is known for his waspish wit – would have mined the comedy seam of the highest court in the land being forced to state the bleeding obvious. But no, not a peep. Why do we fund band's sick stunt? Whatever you think of the Israel/Palestine conflict, projecting 'Free Palestine, F**k Israel' on stage at a music festival is at best offensive, at worst an endorsement of terrorist acts given the atrocities committed on October 7, 2023. That is what the band Kneecap chose to do at Coachella. This is the group given £14,250 of arts funding at the behest of this Government – after the Tories tried to block it. Should taxpayers' money really be going to supporters of terrorists?

Nostradamus appears to have predicted who will replace Pope in chilling prophecy
People think Nostradamus could have predicted who will replace Pope Francis following his death on Easter Monday. The Pope's passing was announced by the Vatican on Monday morning (21 April), and his cause of death has since been revealed as a cerebral stroke that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure. And today (22 April), his funeral date was announced for Saturday (26 April). Following the confirmation of Pope Francis' death, tributes have poured in across the globe, including from King Charles III and US Vice President JD Vance. The nine days of mourning are now set to commence, while the church will enact a series of rituals before a successor is chosen. Following the news, the attention has turned to who could replace Pope Francis as the head of the Catholic Church, with a number of possible candidates having been put forward. The potential successor could, however, align with a prediction made by French astrologer Michel de Nostredame (known as Nostradamus) back in 1555. The French astrologer who was born in 1503 and died in 1566, was responsible for the text Les Propheties, which depicted his predictions in the form of poems. Writing in his book 'Les Prophéties', Nostradamus stated: "Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity." He then added: "A young man of dark skin with the help of the great king will deliver the purse to another of red colour." People still marvel at Nostradamus' predictions to this day, as many of them have seemingly come true, including the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Great Fire of London. With that being said, however, a lot of his predictions are quite vague and are open to interpretation. It is not yet clear who will now be announced the next Bishop of Rome. But, it has now been revealed what the late Pope wanted for his burial according to a final testament released by the Vatican. Namely, he mapped out his wishes for a 'simple' tomb 'in the ground' bearing only the inscription 'Franciscus' - an ode to his papal name which is in honour of St Francis of Assisi, who was also praised for his progressive attitude and humility. Pope Francis previously said St Francis inspired him as 'the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and protects creation'. You can read his final testament here.

Nostradamus's prediction on Pope Francis's death and Catholic Church's future
Nostradamus is famous for his prophecies, and he had a prediction which astrologists are claiming has now come true about Pope Francis's death. He sadly died following a stroke aged 88 on Easter Monday, just a day after greeting crowds in Vatican City. Francis had resumed some official duties earlier this month during his recovery from double pneumonia, before his untimely death. The Vatican said Francis decreed in his will that he will be buried in St Mary Major Basilica in a simple underground tomb, inscribed only with 'Franciscus'. And as millions around the world mourn his passing, conspiracy theorists have pointed to a prediction once made by Nostradamus, reports the Mirror. The prophet, real name Michel de Nostredame, has seen a number of his prophecies from his book Les Propheties realised over the years after it was released more than 450 years ago. Some people believe he accurately predicted the shooting of President John F Kennedy, the start of the Covid pandemic, and even 2022's cost of living crisis. He used the alignment of the stars to make his predictions for the future, and he made many disturbing prophecies which it is now being claimed included the death of Pope Francis. He said that a 'very old' pope would die and that the Catholic Church would also be weakened. The astrologer wrote: 'Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity.' He also gave a prophecy about who would be the next pope. 'A young man of dark skin with the help of the great king will deliver the purse to another of red colour,' Nostradamus stated. Francis, who was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was elected as Pope in 2013. The Vatican said in an update on Monday evening that he died from a cerebral stroke that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure. It will be the task for the College of Cardinals to choose the next pope. The process is famously secretive, with a two-thirds vote necessary - of 138 eligible voters - to choose a successor in an election which has previously taken days or even months behind closed doors at the Sistine Chapel. However, that will not happen for at least 15 days, as before that, Francis's body will lie in state in St Peter's Basilica during an official mourning period. Francis will be buried in the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome's Esquilino neighbourhood. Meanwhile, among Nostradamus' other predictions, looking 500 years into the future, he warned that in 2025 that 'those from the lands of Europe' would become embroiled in 'cruel wars' at some point. Troublingly, he added that the UK would be involved, while he also pointed out that: "The ancient plague will be worse than enemies." Nostradamus is also thought to have had other revelations for this year with some good and others bad. He believed that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may come to an end due to the 'exhaustion' of both armies but he also said that Brazil will be rocked by volcanic activity and deadly flooding.
