Nostradamus tends to use the imagery of ancient namesakes (such as Greek or Roman moon goddesses) in his descriptions, which, if I understand them correctly, are a reference to the end of the Major Occultation in Shia Islam.
I deduce that Selene and Diana were expressed by him to symbolise a full moon, as opposed to the crescent, which I believe to suggest a coming revelation for all believers.
