Back to the future

A topic that comes up often in my house is the uncertainties in life. Many in my family have approached astrologers to learn about the future (both their own and quite selflessly about other's future). Most have enormous belief in the horoscope (or horror-scope). Whether or not they are bold enough to admit that in my presence, their actions always speak to that effect.

My question is this; If you could, would you want to know your future (as p;redicted by an astrologer)? My answer; I don't think so. Of course, there is a huge assumption here; the prediction of the future is accurate!

Considering that ones actions (internal attribution) determine the consequence, is it possible to predict the future accurately. For instance, if someone were to predict that I'd be crippled in a car wreak by rolling off the hillside, I would most certainly drive cautiously on hills or avoid hills all together! So then the future predicted is not necessarily going to happen, is it? That means, the future is not immutable. Then how can the future be accurately predicted?

If you believe that the future can somehow be predicted accurately and is immutable, then does your desire to know your future change? It depends on the nature of the person. The person could react positively making a list of things to do before something happens preparing himself and others around him. Or the person could wallow in self pity and drag himself and others down to the pit of despair even before the event actually happens.

I am not sure which category I fall in? But numerous books in this topic tell me that people go through a cycle of emotions till they make peace with the eventuality. I am wondering what some others think in this regard.
