While he was reading those pages (449-450) of The Plantagenets, the wizard said to me, “Indy, the craziness that began in 1481 sounds like the kind of craziness that precedes the zenith of a ‘WE’ cycle. The government
(1.) escalated the collection of taxes during
(2.) a tragic pandemic and
(3.) labor – once abundant – was in short supply and extremely expensive. These are 3 of the same things that are happening right now. The year after next will be the zenith of our current ‘WE’, which happens only once every 80 years. Go look in Pendulum and see where 1481 was in the ‘ME/WE’ cycle.”

I came back and told the wizard, “1481 was precisely where we are right now: 2 years before the zenith of a ‘WE.’ Their zenith happened in 1483. Our ‘WE’ will zenith in 2023.”

The wizard just smiled a sad smile and kept reading.
