Nostradamus

drux

Quatrain 9/57

 

dant le Ciel si tresfort Tonnera,

PoAu lieu de Drux un Roy reposera,

Et cherchera Loy changeant d’Anatheme,

Penrtée neufve Roy tuera soy mesme.

 

In the place of ‘Drux’ a King will rest, 

 And will look for a law to change Anathema:

While the sky will thunder so very loudly, 

the King will kill himself at the New Gate.

To solve this quatrain we must, of course, decipher the meaning of ‘Drux’.  The French word for two is ‘deux’ and the Latin word for king is ‘rex’.  When we combine the first and third columns as shown below, we get an anagram of ‘Drux’.  Putting it another way, ‘Drux’ is simply Nostradamus’ contraction of ‘deux rex’ and means ‘the two king’. 

 

DEUX

REX

DRUX

 

Drux: This refers to one of the two Presidents who die in the coming months – see Quatrain 1/26. It should be noted that the letters not used, ie EXE, gives the name of a river in England. The Exe rises at Exe Head in Exmoor and enters the sea near the town of Exmouth. 

 

It’s tempting to use the letters EXE to identity one of the dead Presidents.  Donald Trump, is an ex-head – or President – with a passion for tweeting, so he certainly fits the clues.

 

look for a law to change Anathema: Trump’s legal problems are many and varied.

 

the sky will thunder so very loudly: The earthquake and tsunami are accompanied by a tremendous roar. 

 

the New Gate: San Francisco is the largest American port on the Pacific Coast.

 

Trump certainly fits the bill, but if he is the first of the two Presidents to die, it means Joe Biden will almost certainly be reelected in November 2024.
