10 Signs You Have Psychic Abilities You're Ignoring

1. You Have Strong Intuition and Gut Feelings

Perhaps, the greatest common indicator that you have psychic abilities is those strong gut feelings or intuitions of knowing that seem to come from nowhere. Have you ever entered into a silent room that suddenly felt different? Or met someone where you immediately felt something was not right about them, only to later hear about the person that was in the back of your mind? This is not a coincidence.

It is your intuitive system that is recognizing the subtle shifts in the flow of energy and information that your mind is failing to pick up on. Psychic ability in its essence is accessing the information beyond the five senses. It is your intuitive centre that is interpreting these energetic signals and delivering them to your conscious awareness as intuition or knowing.

2. You Experience Vivid, Prophetic Dreams

Dream Messages

Dreams are one of the most common and easiest ways for you to have a psychic experience. Do you often have dreams that come true or leave you feeling that they were real or meaningful? Then this is a classic sign of psychic ability. While slumbering, your conscious mind cannot stop your psychic perception and messages.

You may dream of something that happens the next day or in a couple of weeks' time. You may gain special messages from deceased loved ones or glimpses of what the future could hold. Keep a dream diary by your side of the bed. Write your dreams down as soon as you wake, including the colors, emotions and other key details.

You will start to see patterns and links to real-life situations. Not only will this strengthen your psychic abilities, it will practice your mind to recognize and remember these important messages.

3. You Pick Up on Others' Emotions Intensely

Are you a person who absorbs emotions from people around you? You walk into a room where someone is upset, and all of a sudden you start to feel upset, even if they are really trying to hide it. This means you are probably an empath, and empaths are psychic people. Being able to read people's emotions and feel how they are feeling.

It is a psychic gift you have. You are reading the energy the person is giving off even if they are not saying it. Empaths can find certain places overwhelming, but it means you know what others are going through without even really speaking. If this is you, set energetic boundaries.

Draw a protective shield of energy around yourself. Spend time in nature to re-centre yourself or peaceful or quiet spaces or work with readers or reiki like me, which I do on my clients when trying to re-balance them.

4. You Experience Meaningful Synchronicities Regularly

The concept of synchronicity involves seemingly unrelated incidents coming together in a profound manner. You think of an old friend and they send you a message a few minutes later. You need particular advice and a book falls off your bookshelf, giving you exactly what you need. You keep seeing numbers like 1111 or 222 wherever you go.

When synchronicities happen once or twice, you can disregard them as chance, but if you are frequently seeing these kinds of coincidences multiple times each week, then it is a huge sign that psychic abilities are blossoming in your life. Your enhanced gut feelings and intuition are creating these 'coincidences' in your life or you are starting to get closer to the signals being displayed to you by the universe that you are paying more attention to. Try to pay close attention to these circumstances. They are never just by chance.

The universe (or your higher self) is trying to tell you that you are on the correct path right now or pushing you gently in the right direction towards what you need!

5. People Seek Your Advice and Seem to Trust You Instantly

Do people tend to open up to you? Do strangers tell you intimate secrets? Do friends look to you for honest advice? Do people seem to be able to trust you almost immediately, even when they barely know you?

You are psychic. Your energy is putting people at ease. They feel/sense, whether or not they realize it, that you truly can see them and understand them on a deeper level. Your psychic perception helps you tune in to where people really need to be and they are drawn to that understanding.

You will come in handy when aiding people or even becoming a psychic medium or deepening into your existing relationships by honouring your authentic natural ability to relate deeper with those you care about most!

6. You Have Premonitions or Precognitive Experiences

When you suddenly 'know' something before it happens, this means that one of the most exciting signs of psychic knowledge which comes from your mind is your precognition. Do you ever get a flash that someone is about to call or come over and before you can process what the impression even related to, the actual events begin to play out? For some, this flash can be a knowledge that warns of a particular journey as it is later reported within the news to you about an accident which occurred along the specific route you had planned or wanted that day at a time in the past; yet you took an alternative; not because someone from a distance had sent you that impression of something different. Such examples are not telepathy in that someone is sending you a thought in order to show you their journey; or anything alike, additionally not in terms of extrasensory perception by reading their mind.

They are flashes of future events or what is going to come about. Therefore, what your psychic mind has accessed is this timeline data and the energy flow from which it moves; as it brings this future event back in the present before you, from which it manifests. If you are experiencing precognitions (what might also be termed a 'future flash', with knowledge about coming happenings playing out within you), keep that information and note it down. Do not simply believe that the event 'will unfold as per my current understanding' as it 'will be nothing much'.

Document it and write what played out as per your own impressions within the notes (both impressions and that which unfolds following these). Over time, as you do this, confidence will build throughout your being and your mind and you will come to believe in these psychic flashes and increasingly act upon them.

7. You See Auras or Energy Fields

Some psychically gifted people can actually SEE auras, which are just literally glowing (most often colourful) balls of energy around living beings! If you have ever seen some subtle colour or glow around people; when you are relaxed or when light levels are dim, you might just be developing this visual psychic ability! You do not have to see a full-on spectrum of colours, either, to enjoy this gift. Some people see shifts in light and shadows.

Others are only able to view colour tints. Some see this clearly. Others just feel it without visualising things. If you are intrigued by this ability, try soft-gazing someone at their shoulders or head, especially in dark light without forcing your eyes.

With time, many people start to see the energetic layer of bodies without effort. A lovely psychic pairing is understanding Venus placement and love energy when reading for others.

8. You Know Things Without Being Told

Have you ever known something but had no idea how? This would be classified as claircognizance, the psychic ability to just know things. How amazing would it be to be able to do this! You may know something about someone's life without them even telling you before, such as something in their past.

Or maybe you just seem to know something without studying about it or getting information about it. However, it is different and not the same type of knowing as someone who just seems more intuitive as an intuitive does not know by knowing alone but they 'feel' what they may know whereas claircognizance is purely factual and not emotional. The knowing has popped into your head as though it has been there already. You suddenly know that someone is pregnant before you hear them announce their pregnancy, for example, and the feeling you already know becomes a certainty.

It is no coincidence. At first this gift may feel a little spooky, but this again could be a way you are psychically 'knowing' things.

9. You're Highly Sensitive to Your Environment

People with psychic gifts are notoriously sensitive to their environments. Do you feel drained or energised in different localities or areas? Are you affected by the seasons or phases of the moon? Do you sense subtle shifts in lighting, sound or energies that no-one else is aware of?

This sensitivity to your environment is caused by your psychic system picking up on other vibrational energies. Buildings and land retain energies of the past events that occurred there and of the people that dwell and walk there. Your sensitivity allows you to read past events. If being in large crowds or certain places drains you or feels 'wrong', listen to yourself.

Your perception is right. When you return home, endeavour to have a tranquil and harmonious environment or if necessary to spend time in nature (even if only for a short walk), to rebalance and attune your subtle system.

10. You Have Unexplained Knowing About Future Romantic Connections

Many people interested in this field also have interesting foresight and insight into love and relationship timelines. Perhaps you know when you are going to meet someone, can sense that a relationship is ending before it visibly ends, or feel drawn to people that somehow turn out to be super significant. This romantic precognition is real and it is one of the most popular psychic powers out there. If you are experiencing it, you are naturally gifted at relationship readings and love guidance.

Claudia's Perspective: What Signs of Psychic Abilities Really Means

Over my twenty years as a professional psychic astrologer, I've discovered that the people asking "Am I psychic?" are almost always already experiencing psychic abilities—they're just dismissing them as coincidence or intuition. The real issue isn't whether you're psychic; it's whether you're willing to acknowledge it.

I once worked with a client named Jennifer who came to me exhausted. She'd been having vivid dreams about her mother's health problems three weeks before her mother received a cancer diagnosis. Jennifer described feeling "physically sick" whenever certain people entered a room, and she'd regularly "just know" when her partner was about to call. When I reflected these experiences back to her as textbook psychic signs, she actually got emotional. She'd spent years downplaying these abilities as "lucky guesses" or "being too sensitive."

That's the pattern I see constantly. We live in a culture that validates logic over intuition, so many naturally gifted people unconsciously suppress their abilities. They rationalize away the synchronicities, the premonitions, the sudden knowing that bypasses rational thought.

The signs of psychic ability are often quiet—they don't announce themselves with fanfare. They whisper through your body's knowing, they show up in your dreams, they speak through that inexplicable pull toward certain people or away from others. Most people ignore these whispers for years before they finally stop and listen.

If you're recognizing yourself in these signs, you're not going crazy. You're simply becoming aware of what's always been there. I'd love to help you understand your specific gifts and what they're trying to tell you—get your own personalised reading here.
