well the simple answer to that is, starshwirl could not create a spell to go into the future. in fact technically he failed at creating a spell to chagne the past as well. by the nature of the spell, any changes you might want to try will only fail ecause your past self will react to you. whether simly curious or suddenyl frightened, the spell will expire, and it is a spell a single individaul can only use once.

in other words twilight forced herself to endure a preordained fate. yet as the spell can only function once, it shows that fate is not a force in equstria. else the spell could work for an individual more than once, and thus create more preordained events.
