縁起
|
An omen in a superstitious way (I saw a rainbow after I bet my life savings on a racehorse- that means he’ll win!) Unlike the English word ‘omen’, 縁起 can be both good and bad.

直感
|
premonition – unlike 縁起、 直感 is not based on anything. More like a hunch, but with a supernatural tinge to it. Can be bad or good.
