Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle (Bollingen Series XX: The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 8)
>Where can I find Jung's writings on the topic?
Not his extant work on this concept but excerpts from his writings about it can be found in Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle (From Vol. 8. of the Collected Works of C. G. Jung) (Jung Extracts).
Also check out the entries in the Concordance.
To find further references to what, and where, he wrote about this you'd need to explore the General Index to the Collected Works.
Jung's Friend and an analyst in her own right, Marie-Louise Von Franz also wrote a book on synchronicity: On Divination and Synchronicity: The Psychology of Meaningful Chance.
Jung worked with a physicist, Nobel-Prize winner Wolfgang Pauli, extrapolating this concept into considerations in regions of physics. Their work together might help clarify and deepen your understanding.
Pretty fabulous list! I would've tossed in John Berger's Ways of Seeing and some Jung, though. Penrose's Road to Reality has been in my "to read" queue for ages.
You should read about Synchronicity if you haven't. Jung wrote on it originally, and David Wilcock has a book called The Synchronicity Key which elucidates many of the concepts surrounding it. I am also writing on this concept myself, as it has been a central part of my experience -- overwhelmingly so. This wouldn't even be remotely surprising if it had happened to me. Synchronicity is my life.
And ... Synchronicistically enough, I'm also more or less an uninitiated Rosicrucian and I dabble in Golden Dawn Magick. I also happen to love Conan Doyle.
So ... where is this story of yours? I'd love to read it.
The term for meaningful coincidence is synchronicity. There are psychologists such as Carl Jung who give the concept psychological validity, as well as authors who explore a deeper connection.
The two linked books both keep one foot grounded in modern thought. You're sure to find more mystical explanations as well. But I wanted you to know that there are serious professionals who believe that it is not unhealthy to experience synchronicities as valued facets of our experience.
Yeah dude, as someone mentioned. This is an occurence of Synchronicities, or MEANINGful coincidences. He actually wrote a whole book about them and tried to scientifically explain the phenomena even though it's one of the hardest things to do. Here's the book

I really recommend this book.
I'm not sure how useful this is, but it is famous, might be a good foil, and you should know about it if you're working on these things: https://www.amazon.com/Synchronicity-Connecting-Principle-Collected-Extracts/dp/0691150508/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469975708&sr=8-1&keywords=jung+synchronicity
Pick up Carl Gustav Jung's Synchronicity, if you have not already.
What's your conception of synchronicity? Do you think deja vu has any relevance to the subject?
I understand that it's controversial as to whether or not astrological theory could provide a customized VR experience for an individual. It's an open question that I believe is worth exploring.
Beyond that I wanted to make a few brief points based on interviews with over a hundred professional astrologers.
That all said, there's nothing that I can say or do beyond that to change any minds. Esoteric traditions could be thought of as a religious belief because it gets to perennial philosophy questions that are unanswerable and there are many elements of human consciousness that don't fit into any scientific paradigms.
If you like Star Wars, then you've been influence by Joseph Campell's work on Mythology, which was influence by Jung, who was influenced by all sorts of esoteric traditions -- including astrology.
Archetypes are fundamental to human experience and mythology, and are at the core of why storytelling resonates with us. For me, the study of astrology is a study of these archetypal dynamics and the foundation of good storytelling.
