the difference is intuition, like prophecy, is knowledge that comes to you for God's purposes; Divination is the self asserting authority over spiritual forces, seeking knowledge for the Self purposes. that is why it is inherently evil. and those seeking information from "spirit" are opening themselves up to evil spirits posing as good.
though some people seem to have more inherent 'talent' for spiritual insight and inspired intuition -- even prophecy, this by itself is not "divination." sensitive souls should be steered away from occult practices, as they are particularly vulnerable to them. instead they should seek to serve other within a reliable (preferably faith-based) organization. I'm not Catholic but I have met 3 nuns in my life who were uncanny "psychics" but they did not promote that. they just had remarkable patience and ability in counseling the needy, hurting, and lonely.
Intuition is normal. Divination is not.
