OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

Inner knowing guided by planetary aspects, especially Neptune or Uranus. Poetry celebrates intuition as starry whispers or instinctive cosmic attunement.

Detailed Definition
Intuition, right-brain in Jungian astrology, channels higher insights. In verse, it intuits in mystical works like Novalis'. Literary guidance symbolizes epiphany. The term's subtle sense poeticizes perception, where intuitive stars bypass logic, enhancing themes of inspiration, psychic bonds, and the ethereal dialogue between soul and sky.
Example
Example in poetry:
In intuitive stars of Blake: "Intuition's north star guides the prophet's fiery dream."; Modern feminist poet Audre Lorde intuits: "Intuition whispers from Neptune's misty veil."; Keats intuits beauty: "Intuition hears the nightingale's immortal note."; In H.D.'s Helen, intuition calls: "Intuitive waves draw the heroine to Troy's shore."; Maya Angelou intuits rise: "Intuition caged breaks free on phoenix wings."
Additional Notes
Intuition via soft aspects (trine Neptune); gut planetary knowing. In poetry, intuitions starry whispers—related to psychic; celebrates inner guidance.
