My daughter feels that some synchronicities should stay in the family because they’re too weird or gross to share. The gross category usually involves some undesirable critter, like a rat. I find this “keep in the family’ stuff intriguing since synchronicities tend to be all inclusive.
But what does it mean when you keep a synchronicity within the family? What do you do with it? Does it become an intimate part of the family lore, repeated at reunions, weddings, in bedrooms? Does it become like the family’s black secret? So here’s ours.
This evening, Megan went next door to see our neighbor, Annette, who watches our cats when we’re out of town. Recently when we were in Orlando, Annette came over here without her glasses on and picked up something off the floor and put it on the table. When she put her glasses on, she saw a rat’s head – one of the cats had found and killed it. As Megan told us this story, we were about to watch Blood Red Sky and the name of the production company appeared on screen: Rat Pack Filmproduction.
So, what’s the message? Esoterically, rats symbolize resourcefulness and never giving up. There’s a trickster element, too, with these creatures. This synchronicity occurred as Megan is preparing to buy her first home and going through all the financial stuff you have to endure these days to obtain a mortgage – and doing it during a Mercury retrograde. I’m delighted it was just a story/word synchronicity story – and not the actual dead rat!
