Nostradamus C.6 Q.81: The cruel metal that affects the fate of mankind. A large part of my efforts in recent years has been given to understanding the dating methods used by Nostradamus. In C.9 Q.44 Nostradamus left visible clues as to the date. However as they stand they are of little benefit. C.9 Q.44 L.2   Saturn from gold to iron will be changed C.9 Q.44 L.4   Before it has started the sky will show signs.       To use these lines we need extra information and this is contained in its companion verse, C.6 Q.81 (discussed below).  Three lines of this particular verse carry four of the six anagrams based on the root of numeral and numeric. The anagrams are numerical (main cruel ), unnumerical (umain cruel n ), numeral (a nul mer) and an independent occurrence of numeraLs (urs Leman). There are also a very powerful cluster of anagrams that imply the event involves radioactive elements from the transition series of which uranium is a member. And in this context the wording of the first two lines of the text then takes on a dreadful relevance, "Tears, cries and laments, howls, terror, Heart inhuman, cruel, black and chilly"   Verse C,6 Q.81 also contains a unique anagram for Cynosurae (L.3 ansyCoeur) which is the current Polestar. Now from the emphasis given to numeration we can be confident that important information about numbers is contained in this verse. The Polestar was also found in a number of verses which I have shown tie the events at Geneva to the period of 2000CE to 2100CE. We can conclude from the Polestar reference that the same period is likely to apply here. In my paper on the great mutations I give the evidence for this 101 year period and at the head of that paper is an image of the sky at Easter in the year 2000CE. At this time there is a great clustering of the planets in Aries. Another series of conjunctions involving each of the planets occurs late in the year 2100CE. These are the sorts of signs from the sky that Nostradamus is referring to in the aforementioned verse. But in this instance the reference applies especially to Saturn and its alignment with Polaris.
