About the author
David Ovason (born 1943, died 2012) was a distinguished British author and researcher whose work delved deeply into the intersections of astrology, prophecy, and esoteric symbolism. He gained significant recognition for his meticulous studies of Nostradamus, offering unique interpretations that often linked the seer's prophecies to astrological alignments and historical events. Ovason's approach was characterized by a rigorous examination of primary sources and a keen eye for patterns often overlooked by conventional historians. Beyond his acclaimed works on Nostradamus, such as "The Secrets of Nostradamus" (1999), Ovason explored the hidden astrological and geomantic influences embedded within the architecture and planning of major cities. His books like "The Secret Architecture of London" (2000) and "The Secret Zodiacs of Washington D.C." (2000) posited that specific astrological configurations and symbolic designs were deliberately incorporated into these urban landscapes, influencing their destiny and reflecting ancient esoteric traditions. He also authored "The Zelator" (1992), a work exploring Rosicrucianism and its mystical underpinnings.
