star alignment

Cosmic body arrangement

Star alignment refers to the apparent arrangement of celestial bodies in a line or pattern as viewed from Earth.

In astrology, favorable star alignment supposedly influences events and decisions: The stars are aligned for success.

The phrase has become a common metaphor for when multiple factors converge favorably: Everything fell into place—it was just star alignment.
