A "fortune teller" usually uses "will" for the predictions.
You will meet a tall, handsome stranger.
You will win the lottery next week.

ah, Ok, but I found in this website a reading about PALM READING, and it talks about the lines in the palm, but the girl who made this, she asked quetsions like
With the information of your LOVE LINE.
What can you tell about it?
_________________________________________
What is it going to happen?

Hi Evilmenina,
"Going to" is used to make predictions based on evidence.
For a fortune teller, the lines on your palm/the cards are telling something. That�s why this is the correct tense to be used here.
Hope it helps
