No matter what you call it – a hunch, a gut feeling – you have intuition. And you can make it stronger and more reliable. Even if you think you can’t.
First: How do you tell if something is from your intuition, or from your thinking? If you’re chewing on something, it’s your thinking. If it’s running through your mind on a loop, it’s your thinking. If it falls into your head, it’s probably from your intuition. If you “hear” it, it’s your
intuition. If you hear your name first, it’s definitely your intuition talking, and not your brain.
Next: How can you make it stronger? An easy way to strengthen your connection is to act on simple impulses. When an idea falls into your head out of nowhere, act on it.
Say you are driving and get the urge to turn down a street that wasn’t on your planned route. You might end up passing a place that ends up being exactly where you need to be. One woman who did this passed a store she hadn’t thought about in a long time and decided to
stop in. One step inside and she started laughing. The front was filled with vases of her late mother’s favorite flower.
If someone crosses your mind, send them a text (or wait to hear from them; you might be receiving an early warning signal).
Even more powerful: say you get a nudge to do something that makes no sense. As long as it doesn’t hurt you, give it a try and see what happens.
One more method: when you are contemplating doing something, notice how you feel in your core or the pit of your stomach. Feel excited? Do it. Feel tight or constricted? Or anxious? Plow through at your risk. Your intuition is warning you not to, and if you go ahead you will likely regret it – even if logically the action made sense.
In each of these instances, by acting on the impulse, or honoring the signal, you are sending your intuition the message that you trust it. The more you act on it, the stronger its messages will become. And the stronger the messages are, the more important and useful they are.
Making this easier for all of us, the cosmos is firing up everyone’s intuition for the next decade and a half. The energy comes from the planet that represents our connection to spirit, Neptune, traveling through the sign of Aries from spring 2025 into the late 2030s.
From 2011 to early 2025 Neptune was in its home waters of Pisces, dissolving perceptions of reality and immersing us in universal connectedness and confusion. In Aries it is igniting raw force, sending impulsive and instinctive energy from our core through our beings and triggering unpremeditated and bold action.
We are in for an epidemic of impulses catching fire and inspiring action. Notice how boldly you are navigating life these days. Your own innate connection to spirit, to source, to your intuition or knowing is guiding you. Trust it. Let it lead you to the next stage of your adventure.
