How it shows up

People with this channel have sharp intuition and the ability to voice it here and now. They may suddenly say something remarkably accurate about a situation or a person without understanding how they know it. Their mind works like radar.

Strengths and challenges

The strength is clarity, insight and the ability to see the essence. The challenge is to trust the first impulse and not explain it away with logic. The intuition of this channel lives only in the moment, so knowing that is put off loses its power.

Advice

Say what you intuitively know when it is appropriate — your words often warn and protect.
