my stars
Old-fashioned mild oath
My stars is a mild exclamation of surprise or astonishment, now old-fashioned or regional: My stars, I haven't seen you in ages!
The phrase invokes celestial bodies as a gentle oath, similar to "my goodness" or "my word." It sounds quaint in contemporary usage and often appears in period fiction or Southern American speech.
