Bismillahir-RaHmanir-RaHee
Ibn Mihjan reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear on account of my nation three things after my death: (I fear that) their imams (leaders) would oppress them, (that) they would believe in astrology, and (that) they would disbelieve predestination." (Reported by Ibn `Asakir and Ibn `Abdul-Barr)
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who goes to a fortune-teller to ask him about something, his Prayer will not be accepted for forty days." (Reported by Muslim)
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who goes to a soothsayer or a fortuneteller and believes what he says exhibits disbelief in what has been sent down to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (from Almighty Allah)." (Al-Albani said in Sahih At-Targhib wa At-Tarhib, vol. 3, p. 172, that this is an authentic hadith.)
Contemplating the last two hadiths reported by Abu Hurayrah, it is to be noted that mere going to fortune-tellers is a sin that incurs upon a Muslim who commits it that his prayer is not accepted for forty days, and that believing what fortunetellers say renders a Muslim a disbeliever in what has been sent down to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is because Allah Almighty says: "Say (O Muhammad): None in the heavens and the earth knoweth the Unseen save Allah; and they know not when they will be raised (again)." (An-Naml: 65)
Allah Almighty also says: "(He is) the knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, save unto every messenger whom he hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things." (Al-Jinn: 26-28)
To sum up, it is based on lies and deceit; it has no scientific basis.
Actually when Islam prohibits something, it closes all the avenues of approach to it. This is achieved by prohibiting every step and every means leading to the Haram (unlawful).
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid states:
Al-Bukhaari said in his Saheeh: Qutaadah said: “Allaah created these stars for three purposes: to adorn the heavens, to stone the devils and as signs by which to navigate. Whoever seeks anything else in them is mistaken and does not benefit from them, and he is wasting his time and effort in seeking something of which he has no knowledge.” (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Baab fi’l-Nujoom, 2/240)
And Allah knows Best.
