I asked Bard, Google’s AI, what the best synchronicity was that it knew about. Here’s the response:
Synchronicity can manifest in many different ways, and each individual’s experience is unique. However, there are some synchronicities that stand out as particularly meaningful and impactful. Here is one such example:
A woman named Sarah was struggling with a difficult decision about her career. She had been offered a promotion at her current job, but she also had a strong desire to start her own business. She was feeling very conflicted and unsure of what to do.
One day, Sarah was walking to work when she saw a billboard for a business seminar on entrepreneurship. She had never considered taking such a seminar before, but she felt an inexplicable urge to attend. The seminar was held the next day, and Sarah decided to go on a whim.
During the seminar, Sarah was struck by the speaker’s passion and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. She felt a spark of inspiration and began to see her own potential as a business owner. After the seminar, Sarah decided to take the leap and start her own business. She was nervous and afraid of failure, but she was also excited about the possibilities.
A few months later, Sarah’s business was thriving. She was incredibly happy and fulfilled with her work, and she knew that she had made the right decision. As she reflected on her journey, she realized that the billboard had been a synchronicity, a meaningful coincidence that had led her to her true calling.
Sarah’s story is just one example of how synchronicity can play a powerful role in our lives. By paying attention to the synchronicities around us, we can open ourselves up to new possibilities and discover our true potential.
The story is pretty good, but not the best synchronicity I’ve heard or experienced.
In the late 1980s, Rob and I had the good fortune of knowing several Fort Lauderdale psychics – all of them deceased now. One evening, we were at Tony Grosso’s home in nearby Pembroke Pines. Tony was a real eccentric, a powerful empath, a gay man who didn’t want anyone to know he was gay. Artist and psychic Renie Wiley was also there.
Tony had a unique system for his readings that involved color and he and Rob eventually co-authored a book on color divination, The Rainbow Oracle. Renie had worked as a psychic consultant with local cops and we wrote a piece on her for Fate Magazine called Psychic Detective. We later observed her working with the police to locate a missing young girl, Christy Luna. But on that particular evening, we were just four people intrigued by what the future might hold for us – as individuals, as a human collective. Renie suggested that she progress us into the future to see if we could pick up anything on what life would be like.
Renie was a Sagittarian, a physically tall and imposing woman who also happened to be my astrology mentor, the woman who taught me stuff you don’t find in books or on websites these days. For her, astrology was an art, ancient and sacred. She read our daughter’s chart when Megan was just three days old and I have to say that now, 34 years later, much of what she said has transpired. But that’s for another post.
Whenever the four of us got together, weird stuff evolved, things none of us had anticipated. That evening, I remember, we were talking about what the world might be like in 20 or 30 years or even beyond. Renie said, “Well, guys, let me progress you into an undetermined future and let’s see what you pick up.”
So that’s what she did. She had a beautiful voice, soft, hypnotic, and as she spoke, I suddenly saw myself as a very tall woman – bald – living in a dome because the external world was so toxic. Life in the dome wasn’t exactly a panacea – bureaucracy abounds in every time frame, it seems – and there were outliers who lived in caverns outside the dome whose lives had evolved quite differently.
The dome scenario was confirmed a couple years after that progression when I ran across a book by Chet Snow and Helen Wambach, Mass Dreams of the Future. Wambach, a psychologist, had progressed 2,500 individuals in Europe to 2100 and asked them to describe what their lives were like. In the three scenarios that emerged, the population of the planet was greatly reduced. In one scenario, survivors lived in huge domes that protected them from the toxic air outside.
This progression has always stuck with me. And the summer of 2017- and of hurricanes – Harvey, Irma, Maria, all either cat 4s or 5s- and the quakes in Mexico and Japan and elsewhere – suggested that were in the beginning throes of climate change. The kind of climate change that drives people inland in droves because it’s no longer safe to live on the coasts.
As Irma approached Florida as a cat 5, with the early forecasts taking her up Florida’s east coast, we decided we should evacuate to Atlanta, where my sister lives. But gas was scarce and the idea of getting stranded on the interstate scared me. So we opted for a friend’s place north of Orlando. We had enough gas to get there. I removed everything from our walls, wrapped stuff in garbage bags, found high spots for Megan’s paintings. In the end, we decided to stay.
Friends who evacuated said it took eight hours to get to Orlando (a drive that usually takes about 2.5 hours), and 18 hours to reach southern Georgia. Cars ran out of gas on the turnpike and were abandoned. At one point, when Irma’s winds reached 185 mph – and stayed there for 36 hours, breaking all kinds of records – we figured we’d made a big mistake by not evacuating.
The largest evacuation in U.S. history was underway.
As Irma closed in on Cuba, she stayed on its coast longer than expected and made that northward turn later than forecasts had predicted – and that saved Florida’s east coast. But it tore apart Florida’s west coast, then turned inland as a cat 1 and the eye went over Orlando.
When natural disasters happen back to back, as Harvey and Irma did and, later, Maria and the Mexican quake, the psychological and psychic toll it takes is considerable. Your body slams into survival mode. And for me, standing on the back porch during parts of Irma and listening to and seeing the wind and rain tear through our yard, I wondered about the dome in that progression so many years before. And I knew I had my next novel.
What is life like in these domes, centuries in the future?
As a result of this progression, I wrote White Crows, a Mira Morales novel, where Tango Key is visited by time travelers from a future where people live in domes.

And the written version
The full moon in Gemini on Nov 27 is opposed by Mars and squared by Saturn in Pisces.Full moons are about completion and with these aspects, whatever you’re trying to complete may get deferred through circumstances. If so, don’t fret about it. Just move on and finish it another day.
To find out how this full moon impacts your sign, check here, the Star Power forecast for November.
This one day becomes an extravaganza of food, festivities, family and friends. It starts on Thursday and extends to Sunday and covers Black Friday shopping deals. For the pilgrims, it was simpler: a day of gratitude.
So on this Thanksgiving, my focus is gratitude – for the family & friends, pets and animal buddies who share my life, and that I’ve had the opportunity to make my living by indulging in my passion – writing.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, however you celebrate it!
In 1984, zoologist Wayne Potts published an article in Nature on his research on how flocking birds move. And his work illustrated that birds in flocks don’t just follow a leader. Instead, they anticipate sudden changes in the flock’s direction.
Sounds like precognition, right?
Once a change in direction begins in the flock, Potts said, it “spreads through the flock in a wave.” Potts called it a manoeuvre wave and said that it begins slowly but can reach speeds three times faster than would be possible if birds were simply reacting to their immediate neighbors. Potts called this ability among flocking birds the chorus line hypothesis. That is, he said, birds are like dancers who see an approaching leg kick when it’s still down the line, and anticipate what to do.
“These propagation speeds appear to be achieved in much the same way as they are in a human chorus line: individuals observe the approaching manoeuvre wave and time their own execution to coincide with its arrival.
So one day last February, I (Trish) was driving to my favorite salon to getmy hair trimmed. The route was pleasant and my mind hummed along, thinking it was a new moon day in Aquarius, a fellow air sign, and new moons always meant new opportunities. Suddenly, I found myself stuck in a weird, negative train of thought, and tried to find something else to think about.
I glanced up at the sky and saw a flock of birds – hundreds of small birds, flying west. Then they suddenly changed directions. And it hit me as a synchro, a message that I should do an immediate 180 in my thinking. That’s what I did and realized I had just seen a manoeuvre wave.

This evening Rob & I were watching Chris Hayes on MSNBC. He glanced down at his phone and the photo at the top had come up. Five years ago today (October 3)Megan and her friend Julie met Hayes. He was in downtown Orlando doing a show.
So what kind of synchronicity is that?
I’m not sure.

Julia Gordon-Bramer is a professional Tarot card reader, Sylvia Plath scholar, award-winning writer and poet, and former professor for the Graduate Writing Program at Lindenwood University. She has written extensively on the life of the poet and novelist Sylvia Plath, and her new book is called: Tarot Life Lessons – Living Wisdom from the Major Arcana.
Tarot Life Lessons is a collection of real-life stories lifted from the journals of a professional tarot card reader. The living meaning of one of the 22 major arcana cards of the tarot is explored within each story, based on the author’s more than 44 years of experience as a tarot card. The book peeks into client readings to show how each card tells a story and how it only takes a small amount of familiarity to decipher a world full of meaning in the cards. Finally, it shows how to use the tarot to grow your strengths, identify weaknesses, conquer problems, and move on from painful situations.
