Develop Your Intuition with Astrology

Intuition: Develop Yours with Astrology

Maybe you already have strong intuitive skills and just need to identify your best intuitive path. Even if you don't believe you are intuitive at all, read on to discover new possibilities.

According to psychologist Carl Jung, we perceive the world through ordinary senses and through intuition. Intuition makes use of sensations and incorporates associations from the unconscious. Jung believed that everyone is capable of intuition.

Intuitives are always pursuing possibilities. They tend to read between the lines, look to the future, and even ignore things right in front of them. The ordinary uses of intuition are not always obvious. Here are a few ways intuition can work:

Seeking sources of inspiration
Inventiveness
Seeking opportunities and possibilities
Prefer seeking something new over enjoying what you have
Inspired leadership
Initiators and instigators.
Test taking skills
Creation and understanding of metaphor

Each sign has a particular "take" on intuition. As you learn to pay attention to your intuition in a new way, you are honoring your own capacity to relate to the world in new ways. You can develop your intuition or other psychic powers. Read the sections on your Sun sign for ideas about how to identify, acknowledge and encourage your intuitive powers. If you know your Moon sign or Ascendant, read about those signs to discover other ways to use your intuition.

When intuition is strong, you need to adjust your rational decision-making process to take this new information into account. The adjustment doesn't involve a huge change.
