Astrological Synchronicity

 We don’t receive too many synchronicities related to astrology, but Dale Dassell sent us a good one. It’s especially interesting, since it deals with a daily sun sign horoscope from a newspaper. These little ditties are very general, hardly specific to an individual, as a personalized horoscope would be. But this one hit it on the nose for Dale.

This is so amazing that I had to share it. Yesterday, about halfway through the day, my brother and I were sitting at home playing the Nintendo Wii, when out of the blue I suggested that we go bowling that night. I love to bowl, and I haven’t bowled in months. Doug said he couldn’t go because he had to work late (from 6 p.m. to midnight), so I mentioned the idea to dad, and he said it depended on how mom felt when she got home from work. Well, mom also worked a late shift, arriving home at 6 p.m., and by that time it was dark and chilly outside. She said we could go bowling tomorrow (today), and I said it was cool. About 20 minutes ago, I flipped open the newspaper to do the Jumble puzzle, when I glanced over at my horoscope and read this:

Capricorn: Find ways to acceptably express physical exuberance. Organize a gang of friends for a night at the bowling alley or skating rink.
I nearly fell out of my chair. I had the idea to go bowling yesterday, with no possible way of knowing what this morning’s horoscope would say. Does that qualify as a synchronicity?

Dale later added:

“As far as I can remember, this is the first daily horoscope that turned out to be accurate. I wasn’t sure whether or not it counted as a true synchronicity since I actually anticipated the notion the day before I read it in the newspaper. I hope it’s not a trend, because I would be terrified if I could predict the future on a regular basis!”

One note: Synchronicity isn’t only simultaneous occurrences of inner and outer events. Jung maintained that precognition, telepathy, clairvoyance and other forms of psychic phenomena were all aspects of synchronicity.
