Synchronicity has several domain-based relationships with the concept of creativity:
In psychology, synchronicity is defined as the occurrence of meaningful coincidences that seem to have no cause; that is, the coincidences are acausal.
The underlying idea is that there is unity in diversity. In psychology, Carl Jung introduced the concept in his later works (1950s).

Jung created the term “synchronicity” to explain a relationship between two events which could not be explained by cause and effect.
Somehow information is exchanged which is currently unexplainable by present known physical mechanisms

Serendipity is characterized by the presence, or absence, of conscious intention.
Both of them involve observation; an apparently acausal, yet synchronous, relationship between inner and outer events.
Synchronicity reconnects the self in a meaningful way with the world via a mutual resonance that redefines the sense of self.
Serendipity, alternatively, defies an observer's knowledge by disconnecting an existing articulation of self and world by the appearance of an anomaly or error, and then challenges the self to reconnect to the world in a new meaningful way.
