Have you ever wondered how sometimes you strongly feel something shall happen? It may be something desirable or may not. Let's just say we talk about the desirable first.
Some may say that it's the thing you want very badly to happen. And that's the reason why you believe in it so strongly and the probability that it really fructifies is increased as much as your faith in it. That's the one way to look at it. Most people call it positive thinking. Some call it an honest prayer, some call it imaginative thinking and some say it's the subject for quantum physics theories to apply.
Another set of people calls this intuition. They say, such and such a thing was bound to happen and I just found out it will before it really did. Such people are the ones who are probably the most inclined to believe in predictions about the future, whatever the tool may be.
Think about this now... Whatever view you take shows what you believe in and your thought process. The first set of people, the 'Thinkers' believe in the power of the mind. They truly believe they can take their own decisions and intervene with fate's designs. They take their present and future into their own hands and shape their thoughts to make their life what they want.
The second lot, the 'Intuitionists' like to believe there is a prewritten destiny and 'all the world's a stage' where the only power they attribute to their minds is the power akin to statistical tools, that is the power of forecasting and prediction. Sometimes this ability is attributed to spirituality, religion, tarot, astrology, or any other occult science that the person may choose to believe in.
Interesting thing is that it's all a matter of choice and then belief! It's no intention of mine to pass a judgement on any one of these views. In fact, I personally have been through both in phases. That is perhaps true of many of you who are reading this too.
Before I close the topic, Its also necessary to look at it in another way. If the matter in consideration is not a desirable one... Probably the thinkers would not give a second thought to it, so that they do not give energy to a negative thought. Whereas, the 'intuitionists' may focus on it all the more, in order to "prepare" for it or "avert" it or "remedy" it. But do the 'intuitionists' have the power now to change the future? For if they can't claim their hand in bringing on the positive things, how can they claim to avert negative things?
Signing off with that thought...
