Since you say that you don't consciously look for them, it could be a case of simply not noticing them as much. Things become normalized to our conscious awareness and get glossed over. Similar to the birds singing outside that you tune out until you consciously decide to listen.
I tend towards peregrine's view. I don't think a high number of synchronicities actually "means" anything in a universal sense. How each person views synchronicities and reacts to them is probably the more operative mechanic here. If you interpret the fact that you are getting fewer synchronicities as a sign that you are having a struggle in your personal life, then I think that is your own internal guidance pointing at that struggle and asking you to give it some love and attention. What I noticed early in my seeking process was that I relied on synchronicities to confirm a sort of magic inherent in the universe. Without constant reminders of a "deeper reality" via seemingly impossible coincidences, I would slip back into normal materialistic thinking. After a certain point I no longer needed external reminders of the validity of my path, and so they decreased.
Another semi-related observation about synchronicity I've noticed is the tendency of modern internet algorithms to trivialize such things. It has become common place for me to notice something related to my current thoughts or interests in an unrelated place because of data tracking and increasingly effective algorithms (and possibly microphones that listen and feed info to ad programs, despite the denial of social media companies). Because of this I realized that incredible coincidences that once would have impressed me now seem to be normal. It's only until I slow down and think about the fact that I'm not connected to the digital world in a certain scenario that a coincidence makes an impression on me. It also makes me wonder about the converse effect - how many people mistake the work of clever algorithms for mystical signs?
