How do you know your gut feeling is wrong or right?

Besides of course, the obvious hindsight 20/20 stuff.

Like if it's something you can't necessarily "prove" (ex. a crush's feelings for you, or whatever).



I typically listen to my "gut" or instincts. Since we receive subconscious signals and info all the time, it is important to listen to your gut feeling in case your other senses missed something.

My gut has never been wrong! You learn from experience. In my experience my gut been right again and again and again. I lost an entire decade ignoring my guts, I thought everybody else had the answer. The answer was there in my guts all the time; now after 10 years I am honoring that guidance.

It's the first reaction you get to something.... That is often dismissed.

In the real world I keep my gut jabs to myself.

There's nothing to prove to anyone but yourself. The truth always comes out eventually...always.

My abilities mostly come from knowing the true motives of a person by the information they give or that in which I find. It isn't always 100% right though.

When it comes to gut feeling however the funny thing is the truth is normally the complete opposite then what my gut tells me. For example if my gut told me the town would be under attack tomorrow I'd hide in a bomb shelter yet nothing would happen. But if it told me that tomorrow everything would be fine a nuke would go off.

It's taught me to always go against my gut, which is the better choice more then the wrong one.

My gut feeling is usually right. That sucks, because it tells me things that I DON'T want to hear/know. I've learned that my intuition telling me something doesn't mean that I need to investigate further or act on it. Sometimes, if you just let shit ride, it will either clearly expose it's self or filter out of the current circumstances and not be an issue in the future. I find that if I interrupt the process by looking further into it or trying to force things to come to light that I'm either acting on something without having full details or I've now meddled in something that wasn't going to be an issue later if I would have just allowed it to pass through.

For instance, when I first posted about my Scorp is was about someone that I ONLY knew he had previous romantic involvement with, because I stalked his FB page, saw a couple of pics of them together. Then one day when we were supposed to go to lunch, he called me to say that he needed to go to her area of town to help someone move. Mind you, he didn't know that I knew ANYTHING about her or that I knew she lived in the area where he was headed. That day, I put my foot down and told him that I didn't think it was fair to reschedule our lunch date to help someone move who only called him for help AFTER we made our arrangements. He promptly called whoever it was (Again, I suspect it was her) and cancelled with them. Then he got a call from her one day when we were about to go somewhere. That wasn't the issue. The issue was that he lied to me, told me that he needed to go check out something in his broken down truck that was parked across the street from my house, but he ended up being on the phone. So, I know that he went outside to call her back. I was heated. From the FB page content and that phone call incident, I could have confronted him, BUT...it wasn't CLEAR that they were romantically involved based on the FB content. It also wasn't a fact or I didn't have proof that he purposely stalled me from coming outside and went to go call her. You know? I mean, I'm not STUPID...it had to be her, but at the same time...I had no proof.

Well, less than a month later, according to her FB page, she relocated from our area to Chicago. So, if I would have investigated further and went into these messy details, etc....who knows what would be going on between he and I right now. Instead, I chose to chill and let the situation either come to light fully, or pass through. Well, it passed through. She's no longer a factor...at all.

I don't think one can tell something until it happenes. In respect to whether I trust my gut to be right and has it proven to be accurate, yes. Always. Especially about people. Often because I am cautious and always wait people and situations out. If something tell me not to trust them I may continue to engage them depending on the circumstance (e.g. work) with my guard up or I don't bother at all. Often I just do the latter. The former requires to much energy and I don't want to bother tbh.

Yep as an Aquarius with a Scorpio moon this resonates with me, there's so many times I don't listen to my gut feeling because I need to handle things like an Aquarius not like a vengeful Scorpio

YES!!! With me, it's the Mars in Taurus in the 1st house...definitely bull in the china shop. I just...can't go there. It's too destructive and totally against the me that I WANT to remain.
