Seriously, nobody here has heard of this happening? The first promise for reciting the rosary is that you will be sent signal graces. By "sign recognition" I mean seeing or experiencing things (not illusions, just looking at things in a new light) that feel as if they are there as a sign of what to do, or as reassurance that what you're doing is right or wrong. Omens, signals, etc. Whatever you want to call them. This is not an uncommon phenomenon, and I know its mentioned often from a biblical perspective, but I'm not too well versed on religion so that's why I posted.

In any case Sunday-Tuesday had a number of strange occurrences that aided me in a significant life decision. They could have been coincidental, but it seems as if they were too well related.

Like serendipity? It really depends on the outlook you have on your personal experiences, and what you decide to make of them.

Yes, I am a Christian. But I don't have one of those bibles with the star charts in the back.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

The first promise of Mary is that those who recite the Rosary will receive "signal graces." No star chart required.

That sounds Catholic. I have no idea what a rosary is. A flower?

    * A sign of the cross on the Crucifix and then the Apostles' Creed;
    * An Our Father on the first large bead;
    * A Hail Mary on each of the three small beads with the following intentions (the theological virtues):
         1. For the increase of faith
         2. For the increase of hope
         3. For the increase of charity
    * A Glory Be to the Father;
    * Announce the mystery
    * An "Our Father" on the large bead
    * A "Hail Mary" on each of the adjacent ten small beads;
    * A "Glory Be to the Father";
    * Again an Our Father on the next large bead, followed by ten Hail Marys on the small beads, the Glory Be to the Father, (and Fatima Prayer, cf. below) for each of the following decades;
    * In conclusion, Hail Holy Queen and a sign of the cross.

That would take forever.

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes...
