I just hope you don't go on any binges of "intuition". I have a rather singular
cousin who is quite enough. She is convinced she receives messages from spirits,
and is capable of great "predictions". For example, she "predicted" my sister's
baby was going to be a boy. She isn't completely hopeless as she HAS learned not
to try to repeat this sort of nonsense in front of me. Even stranger is that she
is also of the opinion that my opinions are sacrosanct, so anything I utter is
the TRUTH. I used to think this was funny, and abuse it at times, but I've
become a little more compassionate with time, and try not to. This most
particularly after an episode where I told her that drinking two spoons of cough
syrup instead of the prescribed one would cause her hair to fall off and change
her complexion blue. The next thing I knew, she was running around the house
with her hands on her head (so as to keep her hair from falling off) in absolute
hysterics. I'm now more cautious with what I tell her.

BTW, just for the record, I'm an Aries.
