lucky star
Celestial good-luck charm
A lucky star is a benevolent celestial force imagined to watch over someone's fate.
The phrase appears most often in expressions of gratitude for good fortune: Thank your lucky stars you weren't in the car when it crashed.
The idea draws on ancient beliefs that stars influence human destiny—your lucky star is whichever one smiled on you.
