According to the witches, Banquo's descendants would rule. Allegedly King James I of England was one of his descendants because he ruled in the time of Shakespeare and the author wished to be in good graces with the King.

What did the prediction mean for Banquo?
The predictions meant that Macbeth wouldn't be succeeded, as King of Scotland, by any descendants that he might have. In Act 1 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play, friends and fellow Generals Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo were given three sets of predictions by the three witches. For Banquo, it was predicted that he'd be lesser and greater than Macbeth. That meant that he'd achieve greatness through a lower job title than Macbeth. It also was predicted that Banquo would be less happy and happier than Macbeth. That meant that he'd be more content with a less charmed, less fortunate, less prominent life than Macbeth. And it was predicted that Banquo wouldn't be king. Instead, he'd be the ancestor to a long line of Kings of Scotland.
What does safe in a ditch in the bides mean?
In Shakespeare's play Macbeth, he decides that he needs to get rid of Banquo and his son, Fleance, because the witches prophesied that Banquo's descendants would be kings of Scotland. "Safe in a ditch he bides", is the First Murder's way of telling Macbeth that Banquo is dead.
What do the three witches predict will happen to mecbeth?
That he would be king hereafter. That one was clear. That he would be Thane of Glamis? Not really a prediction, since that had happened in the past and Macbeth knew about it. That he would be Thane of Cawdor? Also not really a prediction, since the King had already named him Thane of Cawdor, which the witches knew but Macbeth didn't. The only thing the witches say in Act I that is about the future is that he will become king. Well, what about Act IV then? You might argue that the predictions in Act IV don't really come from the witches but rather from "their masters", whatever that is supposed to mean. But leaving that aside, the first thing said is "Beware Macduff!". Well, that is no prediction, just a warning. The other two things which are said are both predictions: that Macbeth will not be killed by a man of woman born, and that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane. These two, and the one about becoming king, are the three predictions made to Macbeth.

What caused the strange elements in Macbeth?
Do you mean strange elements like the witches? Or Banquo's ghost? Or the dagger floating in the air? Well, you could say that the dagger and Banquo's ghost were all in Macbeth's mind, because he is the only one who sees them. Or possibly not. Sometimes the play is staged where the audience can see these things, sometimes not. The witches are different, since they are also seen by Banquo. They must have some reality, unless Banquo and Macbeth are having a shared hallucination. Although the second time Macbeth visits them, they are seen by nobody else, even when one would expect it, so maybe that was also in Macbeth's mind. Or not.These are all questions which must be answered by the director of each particular production of the play.

Witches are people, too. They can be straight or gay or bisexual- or they might not have a sexual orientation, too. In any case, just because someone's a witch doesn't mean they're dying to get you in bed.
