Positive word for Premonition

I wanted to use the word "Premonition" in a sentence, but when I checked the meaning I got "A feeling of evil to come", which was far from what I wanted to convey.

So I checked synonyms like "boding", "foreboding", "forewarning", "Presentiment", and so on. All had ominous connotations or a negativity or a sense of evil attached to the meaning.

So here I am, asking if there is a positive word for premonition, without negative implications.

UPDATE: "Hunch" is the word I select as matching my requirements, from all the answers I got.

Solution 1:

Divination

1. the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means.

2. augury; prophecy: The divination of the high priest was fulfilled.

3. perception by intuition; instinctive foresight.

A more informal word could be Hunch

Solution 2:

A simple "prediction" would probably work. It more relates to a suspicion rather than a 'gut feeling', but it carries no negative connotations towards the suspicion.

"Premonition" itself doesn't carry too heavy a negative connotation either, so you'd probably be safe using it as-is. Though I wouldn't use "boding", "foreboding" or "forewarning", since those carry a little more negative weight.

Solution 3:

A vision would also achieve the same effect with no negative connotations.

Though a vision portrays a vivid premonition where the person receiving it is able to see things that will happen in future, and is far more descriptive than a gut-feeling or hunch.

If you intend to portray a gut-feeling, vision will not fit.

Solution 4:

Precognition. Carries a serious psychiatric stain in German though. Alike all precognitive people are automatically suffering schizophrenia or worse.

I would summarize "clear-minded estimation", but I don't know how to bring that down to one word. INTUITION could be used for it though.

Paradoxically (?) there are more "clear-minded estimations" by scientists than by fortune-tellers and esoteric-fans.

Solution 5:

Just say "positive premonition". It's thought provoking and challenges the reader's definition of premosition. There are adjectives for a reason.
