You’ve heard of the perpetual calendar, now get ready for the perpetual fortune teller. Providing insights for every year from 1269 to 2024, it is based on a supposed 28-year orbit of the sun, so that the fortunes repeat every 28 years. Thus, the predictions for the years 1800, 1828, 1856, and 1884 are the same. According to the text, this year portends a great war of Christian leaders, the discovery of treason, an important naval battle, and the crowning of a grand prince.
