Astrology and Synchronicity
Posted: 11 Aug 2011, 05:55This is a Shakespeare story. My Twain ego is on hold.
This is my second attempt to post about this event sequence. The first attempt, simultaneous with the last events described below, failed inexplicably, right before my monitor took a job doing lights for an acid rock revival.
The Prediction:
In America, even sedulous avoidance cannot entirely keep Astrological influence away (Look at the 40th presidency!). Occasionally a friend will try to show me the days predictions. “Twain don't believe in astrology. Leos are skeptical.” I reply.
If they insist, good manners require I comply, and giving my true fears voice would require I break character from “Twain, the Skeptic.”
Like I ching, and tarot, I experientially respect certain astrologically mediated encounters with the stars too much to casually court them.
THE PREDICTION: “In a few days, something will happen that will change your attitude towards the better”
(Quote inexact. Attribution, Nikki's phone. But the time element was unusual in my exp. of daily horoscopes. The events described used the word “decent” or “decently”.)
The Outcome:
Two days later, a Christian told me God had told her to comp me $50 bucks on dog food.
This is the second time I have had a Christian tell me God had told him to give me money, and did it.
CONCLSION : GOD LIKES TO GIVE ME MONEY!!!
I had had a choice between dog food and another needed expense, so I promptly went and did that chore, and spent the rest of the money on dog treats.
Then I got over $200 dollars in traffic tickets, but I told the cop upfront there were warrants out on me for outstanding tickets, and he didn't arrest me.
So, at the other end of the scale from divine caritas is a minion of the drug war refraining from filing paperwork!
I was far more impressed when it happened, and the fact that God likes to give me money still tickles me, but experience has shown he also likes to throw me in jail, so I am freezing into paranoid denial. Comments, or advice?
“What's so funny about Peace, Love, and Understanding?
