New beginnings: A brief flashback

While browsing on the computer my eyes happened to lit upon this paragraph from an article about the new moon last Sunday:

"This particular eclipse is in a series that we have experienced before in 1991-1992, so if we look back to those years, we may get a hint of what needs to be given a shakeup in our lives. It may bring to a successful conclusion a situation which has been bothering some of us for a while. Don't worry if initially things seem worse, since you'll then turn a corner into better times ahead."

1991-1992. I had just graduated from OCAD (back then OCA) in 1991, armed with my diploma (a strangely long rectangle folded in three), the latest issue of Marketing Magazine (with a listing of all the agencies in town), and the blissful ignorance of the novice. I had only one decision to make: to start from A on the list, or from Z, to begin my cold calls. I started from A and stopped at K when I got my first job in advertising...

According to this astrological interpretation, the same thing is happening now as it did back then. That would mean a downturn in economy (1991 was the start of a recession in our fair country), but on a personal level it means the beginning of a new career, getting one foot (or toe) in the door and working from the ground up. Forging new relationships and networks, make like a sponge and absorbe everything around, humbling myself before gods and mortals so doorways would open for me, and unleashing my creative animals into the public domain!!!

I dreamed big then, and I dare to dream big now. Except this time, I will keep the dream alive, with blessings from above and below.
