Jocasta's opinion of soothsayers was negative. Regardless of them being psychics, she did not care about their predictions or think that others should waste their lives worrying about their futures.

Jocasta believes that soothsayers cannot accurately predict the future and that their prophecies are not to be trusted. She dismisses the idea of fate and believes that people have the power to shape their own destinies.
