Intuition gut feeling

With intuition ( gut feeling) is it at the present time. Or can it occur 7/8 years down the line ?
It’s not really instinct if you had 7-8yrs of thinking time.

Depends whether it's persistently been on your mind, or if something just brought it up

It’s came from thinking about something with what ifs and loads of scenarios

Something just recently sparked that trail of thoughts?

OR

You've been thinking about it on and off for 8 years?

No. Nothing you've written sounds like intuition or gut feeling.

"a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning."

"an immediate or basic feeling or reaction without a logical rationale."

You've actively been thinking about this. And have had years to dwell on it.

Intuition is prospective, not retrospective. So no.
