clairvoyant
Sees the future
A clairvoyant is someone who claims the ability to perceive events or information beyond ordinary sensory contact—seeing the future, reading minds, or knowing hidden things.
The word also works as an adjective: clairvoyant powers, a clairvoyant vision.
Extended loosely to mean unusually perceptive or prescient: Her clairvoyant market predictions proved eerily accurate.
