Do you feel that you have a specific time of day or that you need to be in a specific mood or frame of mind to have clarity about matters related to relationships or what your gut feeling or intuition or even logic is telling you? 
 

Or are you “on” anytime and can see things for what they are and your interpretation of the situation turns out to be right regardless?

I think it's hard for your interpretations to be right generally in a relationship, because there is emotion and attachment involved. That's why boards like this and various types of counselors etc exist. To help you distinguish what's logical from your emotional attachments so you can see things more clearly. For example the number of people who stay in abusive relationships, etc. They know it's bad, but they also have difficulty apparently seeing how bad it really is and so leaving, etc.

I could go from interpreting a situation in an optimistic way when the other person is actually pushing me away to interpreting a positive situation in a very negative way if I’m in a negative frame of mind and ruining the outcome as a result.

It's on all the time for me   I think those reactions or feelings need to operate in real time

People often waffle between what their head/logic tells them, what their heart tells them, and what their gut/intuition tells them.

When it comes to relationships, only your intuition holds the key. Your heart and head are liars.

Interesting - I think I may agree with you on that.  Sometimes my heart and head are on opposite ends but my intuition is somewhere in the middle.  I usually follow my intuition.

Sometimes your intuition will tell you something is wrong, but it won’t tell you exactly what that is

Your reasoning or logic should guide us but usually it doesn't. We are moved by feelings more than we realize especially in politics and religion and sex. You can't use logic with someone's deep emotions. Rarely works IMO and it's aggravating. Love has no logic
