Journal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 88-115, February 2020., 2020

Abstract Jung promoted the idea of synchronicity in 1928, in the context of discussing the Chinese way of thinking. From 1928 to 1951, Jung’s informal formulations led to more than one understanding of synchronicity. He even tried to apply synchronicity to an astrological experiment.
