Nostrodomus practised judicial astrology, the art of making forecasts about wars or epidemics based on the position of the planets. Lesser conjunctions returned every 20 years. Major ones every 200 and forty years. Great ones every 960 years. The most infrequent were also the most destructive. Nostrodam thus linked a conjunction between saturn and jupiter in the house of cancerto religious strife.
