stars align
Fate favors you
When the stars align, circumstances come together favorably—multiple factors converge to make something possible or successful.
The phrase draws on astrological belief that celestial positions influence earthly events: The stars aligned and we got the house we wanted.
Often used for fortunate coincidences: If the stars align, I might finish by Friday.
