One Was Striped, the Other Purple

On the same day I got this mysterious purple orb:

Below we see a purple orb I photographed indoors. On the same day I had mentally asked to see a purple orb if a particular event was going to happen. I chose the color of purple because I very rarely get orbs with that color indoors (the last indoor purple orb I got before this one was in February 2020).  What was the event I had referred to in my request?  That's my little secret.
