CENTURIA V · QUATRAIN XCI
The Market Of Liars
Au grand marche qu'on dit des mensongiers,
Du tout Torrent & champ Athenien:
Seront surprins par les chevaux legiers,
Par Albanois Mars, Leo, Sat. un versien.
At the great market that one calls of the liars,
of all Torrent and the Athenian field:
they will be surprised by the light horsemen,
by the Albanians, Mars, Leo, Saturn in Aquarius.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that although the first part of this quatrain gives a political description, it is also astrological in nature. What political description? He says that it relates to serious upheavals in the European Common Market (EEC). He says that this will have consequences. It will especially affect some countries of the Eastern bloc, whose changes in political direction will seriously affect the economy. This interpretation was given in early 1989, before the communist satellite countries began to gain freedom. I think it is especially important that he mentioned Albania because of the fighting that broke out in 1991 in Yugoslavia and the area bordering Albania. In the time of Nostradamus these countries were not known by their current names. Will the United States be involved in this, or only Europe? He says that since it concerns the economy, the whole world will be involved. “They will be caught off guard by lightly armed horsemen.” He says that this refers to economic upheavals. At first it may seem that the problems are not too serious. But they will turn out to be much more serious than people thought at first. Can he name an approximate time period? He says somewhere in the 1990s. I presented this quatrain to Mae, the astrologer who helped select dates for the second volume. She said that these astrological signs would occur twice during the 1990s: in June and July 1991, and also in May and June 1993. The first date definitely coincided with the problems in Yugoslavia.
