Is there really something called the INTUITION?

Have you ever wondered if intuition is a real power—that mysterious ability to know things without consciously reasoning — or is it just a myth? Some people say that zodiac signs, like Scorpios, are particularly gifted with intuition. I’m not sure if I’m one of them, despite being a Scorpio myself. Could it be that our signs somehow influence how we perceive intuitive feelings? Or is it simply a coincidence?

I tend to believe that intuition might be less divine intervention and more about subconscious reactions. Sometimes，before facing a situation, our mind seems to make a quick guess, an implicit response that shapes our perceptions. It’s like an initial intuition that nudges us—an instinctive reaction we aren’t fully aware of—that prepares us for what's to come.

When we face a challenge, we often try to mentally prepare ourselves. We imagine the possible outcomes, breathe through our fears, and immerse ourselves in different scenarios. We experience the anxiety and hope, and when the event unfolds as we predicted, we say, “I knew it—I had an intuition.”

But how many times do we truly recognize when a positive outcome has happened? Usually, we’re so overwhelmed with happiness that we don’t reflect on whether we anticipated it. Success feels natural; we wanted it, and it’s welcome. We rarely look back and think, “Did I sense this was coming?” The answer often lies in our subconscious mind, which might have already processed it.

On the flip side, if things go wrong, we remember the doubts and fears we had beforehand. That “dip” we took into negativity or worry becomes our silent guide. In this way, intuition can sometimes be a reflection of our anxieties rather than a divine gift.

I believe that having intuition is, in essence, an honest admission of our own fears and biases. It’s like a mental rehearsal—considering all possible outcomes very quickly to prepare ourselves. If we’re confident and optimistic, we don’t need to dwell on these premonitions; we simply accept the result and keep moving forward. When we win, we feel victorious, and there's no need to look back or second-guess ourselves.

But if we lose, it’s as if we already knew. We’ve lived the loss in our mind beforehand; we’ve prepared for that disappointment. So, in a way, intuition might just be our subconscious trying to warn us or prepare us—be it for success or failure.

Now, how useful is it to constantly think ahead, to fear the worst, or to fixate on negative possibilities? Wouldn’t it be better to stay positive, be a “Pollyanna,” and trust that good things will happen? Perhaps our energy is better invested in optimism rather than worry.

In the end, does knowing or feeling that you have an intuition really change how you respond when things happen? Usually not. You still get disappointed, or you still celebrate—what matters is how you handle it in real-time. The reassurance that “I knew it all along” often comes only after the fact.

Maybe the truth is that our subconscious prepares us—whether for victory or defeat—long before we’re consciously aware of it. So, why get caught up in the game of second-guessing? Instead, focus on being a positive, resilient person. Feel your emotions, accept surprises, and leave behind the limiting notion of a “fearful Cassandra” warning us of doom.

After all, life is unpredictable. Embrace it with an open heart—whether you call it intuition, instinct, or just your inner voice—and trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way.
