Synchronicity | Michelle Cromer

Last month– while I was in Egypt, Pluto entered Aquarius for the first time in nearly 250 years.

The next few months are a powerful portal. During this time, you will likely get a taste of what Pluto will bring over the next 20 years. If you are conscious of this energy, it’s possible to co-create with it and manifest some incredible things.

Pluto is a generational planetary object. In a way, you can track the generation you belong to by the sign Pluto is in. It takes 248 years for it to orbit the Sun, and it can stay in a zodiac sign for between 12 and 30 years.

Since 2008, Pluto has been in Capricorn. Pluto represents transformation by way of death and rebirth, and it reveals the shadow side of whatever it touches.

As we saw with Pluto when it was in Capricorn, it exposed the shadow side of our systems, financial and otherwise. Starting with the 2008 financial collapse, at the exact moment when Pluto first entered Capricorn, this energy has spent the last 16 years basically annihilating many of our hierarchical structures – the old ways, the old paradigms.

Now Pluto will change signs and move into Aquarius, which is a rare event. Aquarius is about consciousness, revolutionary energy, and innovative ideas. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, the French and American Revolutions were taking place.

Aquarius is about equality and objectivity – it’s a humanitarian archetype. It affects the collective, including the systems and structures that have been in place, but it also works on an individual level. Aquarius is about being different, embodying your most unique self, and living outside the box.

And because Aquarius is all about consciousness, we will be undergoing a transformation of consciousness – it’s a crucial time to get clear about what you’re committed to.

In fact, this is probably the most powerful moment of the year to set intentions, and not just for the month or the next 6 months. It’s about setting intentions for your life. Everything is shifting and changing, which opens the door for a massive surge forward – it’s a chance to envision a new beginning.

Whether you’re pledging yourself to a relationship, your family, an ideology, a career, or a behavior, this energy is about trusting your gut, and being unflinchingly loyal once you’ve made that decision. It’s a time to rise above outdated thinking – like basing your sense of power on how you look, what you own, or what people are saying about you – and commit to a greater mission and purpose.

There are profound energies at play now, so pay attention to signs and synchronicities – they are here to guide you to the right commitments.
If what you’ve chosen feels genuinely right for you, then this is the time to tap into your courage and go for it.

The theme right now is about entering a new era, and about observing the old ways and hierarchies dying – because they can’t stand anymore.
You – and others around you – have reached a time where your energy and power need to be in service to something greater, and they need to be imbued with love and compassion. This is a moment for you – and the world at large – to make a huge leap forward into a new way of thinking.

It’s important to ask yourself now: “Am I going to move along with humanity’s direction, and can I live with it?” and, “If so, what am I going to co-create with it?”

Or are you going to try and hold onto the old ways, and keep yourself small and disempowered? Are you going to keep thinking you’re not enough, because you don’t look a certain way, don’t have a certain amount of money, etc.?

The future is about the growth of your spirit and your soul. How is it evolving? How is it contributing? Are you connected to something deeper and truer to you?

Because if you’re not, you’re likely putting your energy and your commitments into things that are not right for you. And this is the moment to change all that.

When you commit your energy and set your intentions to manifest what is truly authentic for you, you’ll be filled with energy. You won’t be drained or exhausted.

Know that what you contribute to life is directly related to how you use your energy. It’s time to take responsibility for yourself and for what you put in this world.

One April, in lower Manhattan, I stepped out of a cab on West Broadway in front of the SoHo Grand Hotel. Missing the curb I began to fall and a man who was walking by caught me. The man turned out to be an old friend from Westlake High School who still lives in Austin and who I had not seen in twenty years. This is a coincidence: an uncanny event.

In the summer of 2007, I was attending a conference in Santa Fe, and during my lunch break, I was online searching for doctors anywhere in the world who might be able to help my son Sam, who was born blind. I was interrupted by a call from my friend Felicia who asked me to speak to a friend of hers who also has a blind son. She had found a doctor with alternative methods and she was fearful of the doctor’s unusual protocols. I immediately called this person, got the name of that doctor, and discovered that he lived in Santa Fe and his name was Sam! This is synchronicity: an unconscious awareness of life, a set of messages and these messages that are life-changing. Often times a prophecy, synchronicity is an unlikely or impossible coincidence that cannot be explained by luck or chance.

[Tweet “Synchronicity and the magic of life, allowing life to reveal itself with grace”]

Carl Gustave Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and he coined the term synchronicity to describe what he called the “acausal connecting principle” that links mind and matter. He said this underlying connectedness manifests itself through meaningful coincidences that cannot be explained by cause and effect. Such synchronicities occur, he theorized when a strong need arises in the psyche of an individual.

Coincidence and synchronicity are both defined as “striking occurrences of two or more events at one time.” The difference is that coincidence is perceived as chance or luck while synchronicity implies intuition, harmony, and resonance, the presence of a deeper intelligence at work.

A coincidence is a random external event that has nothing to do with your inner world. You live as a reactor to the external. You are not yet conscious of the fact that you have the ability to think independently of your present circumstances, thereby creating your own experience. The magic of life is overlooked.

Understanding synchronicity, you realize that there is more to everyone and everything than what they appear to be in physical form. You know that the invisible essence of everything on the planet is interconnected. You recognize the power of your thoughts and begin to consciously choose thoughts and belief patterns that will serve you and the planet. You are deeply humbled as you begin to see the connection between what you are thinking and what the Universe is delivering to you. The recognition of a deeper intelligence at work holds you in a beautiful state of awe and wonder at the mystery of life. The secret to life is not knowing how it all works: rather, in knowing your purpose, and allowing life to reveal itself with grace. You understand that to humans, time happens on a linear line; but, to the Universe, time happens all at once. Synchronicity means we are participating in the creative mind of the universe.

Some people attribute synchronicity to luck, fate, destiny, karma, angels or a miracle. My grandfather used to say that synchronicity happens when God wants to remain anonymous. Whatever your belief might be, synchronicity is the magic that gives us a sense that something bigger is happening something we can’t observe with just our five senses.

Whether you believe in synchronicity or not, I encourage you to approach the mishaps of life as favors. View accidents as not so accidental and all people we encounter serving a meaningful purposeful in our lives. There is significance in interruptions and in the unexpected. Your reality will shift and you will find yourself on the bridge between the invisible and the visible. Moments will be full of discovery and fulfillment and you will realize that you are constantly surrounded by messages, blessings, and magic. Because those who don’t believe in magic will never find it and certainly never experience it.
