Inuition

Definitions of intuition vary slightly. Here are a few that I collected from the web via Merriam-Webster, WordReference.com and Dictionary.com. Intuition: instinctive knowing (without the use of rational processes); hunch, suspicion; direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension; a keen and quick insight; quick and ready insight; immediate apprehension or cognition.
For the last few days, several people have brought up the topic of intuition- inside and outside of Tarot readings. How does a healer, therapist, Tarot reader, masseuse, etc. utilize their intuition to connect with and better understand a patient or client? How much of "reading" someone and their problem/situation is intuitive vs. analytical?
