It's not looking good

The new year is usually a time to start afresh, with new hopes and a clear mindset.

However, it looks like 2025 might not be your year after all, as the internet's favourite prophesiers have issued some predictions that sound less than ideal.

For those who aren't up on the lore, Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga is one of the world's most renowned clairvoyants.

With an accuracy rate of over 85 per cent, Vanga correctly predicted world-changing events such as 9/11, World War II and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Vanga died back in 1996, but her legacy remains, with her having predicted many events following her death.

Nostradamus, on the other hand, died back in 1566, and has a similar legacy.

He also predicted 9/11, as well as the Great Fire of London and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Both mystics think that in 2025, mainland Europe was going to see some serious trouble.

Vanga claimed that next year would see a 'devastating' war break out across Europe, with Nostradamus also predicting that 'cruel wars' would hit 'those from the lands of Europe'.

"The ancient plague will be worse than enemies," the French astrologer added.

However, Vanga has given us hope that next year won't be end of the world quite yet.

The end of the world itself won’t occur next year, however – that won’t come until 5079. Rather, 2025 will mark the kickstarting of events that will ultimately culminate in our doom.

In other words, next year will be the beginning of the end.

Within the next four years, we will allegedly be desperate for more energy. So, in order to source new resources, Baba Vanga says that we will send a mission to the inhospitable hellscape of Venus where nothing can grow or survive. That’ll be interesting.

2033 will see the melting of the polar ice caps. Global warming suggests that this prediction is entirely possible and, if it happens, will lead to a drastic rise in global sea levels.

Forty three years later, in 2076, communism will rise again to take over to world.

In the 22nd century, we’ll have alien contact and a global drought for our future generations to look forward to, followed by a martian war in 3005.

Apparently a war will break out between Earth and a civilisation on Mars.

It all sounds far too stressful to be honest.
