Hey people, welcome to Accidental Gods.

to the podcast, and the place where I simply talk to a microphone, where we do still believe that another world is possible, and that if all eight billion of us, or at least a reasonable critical mass of that number, could all get together and unite behind a vision, or a set of values, or a concept, or a belief, or an embodied beingness,

of what it would feel like to not be sitting in a bus that is being driven towards the edge of a cliff, then there is still time to create a future that we would be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.

So today, this is not a podcast.

I am recording pretty much at the moment where Saturn conjuncts Neptune at zero degrees of Aries.

And I'm well aware that many of you listening to the Accidental Gods podcast and to me are not necessarily into astrology.

And probably about this time last year, I was barely interested in astrology.

I have been going to see a psychic astrologer since my 30th birthday, which was a very long time ago.

And at that point, she said, remember, you're a writer who is making a living being a vet, not a vet who has writing as your hobby.

And within a decade, I was writing full-time and had started the Boudicca Dreaming series.

So I listen to people who give me good advice and advice that feels like it settles into my being.

And about a year ago, someone that I trust said, you need to be watching what's happening.

And today, 20th of February, at around 3 o'clock UK time, Saturn conjuncts Neptune at zero degrees of Aries, which is the start of the zodiac.

And apparently, this has not happened since 4,631 years before the start of the Common Era.

Almost every astrologer I know considers this to be a total reset.

And there's a lot of other stuff happening around it, which we are definitely not going to go into.

However, I don't know about you, but the world feels to me as if it is balancing on a knife edge.

Somebody a long time in my attempt at dressage riding past, and yes, I do know now that that's not something I particularly should have been doing or definitely want to do now, however...

They said, riding a dressage horse is like sitting on an unexploded keg of dynamite balanced on a knife edge.

And this is true.
