synchronistic

Occurring together significantly

Synchronistic describes events or phenomena that occur together in a meaningful way without one causing the other.

The term derives from Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity, which posits that coincidences can carry psychological or spiritual significance beyond mere chance.

Something synchronistic suggests a mysterious alignment or connection between unrelated happenings.

The synchronistic appearance of the cardinal on the anniversary of her death felt like a message.
