How Did Romeo Know

How did Romeo know, and what does that mean for us?

"I fear too early, for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels, and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.
But he that hath the steerage of my course
Direct my sail..." (Act 1. Scene 4. lines 113-120)

Perhaps this foreshadowing, with Galations 2:20, can be kept in mind with us Christians. I see the North star shining in this Christmas sky, and I feel what is about to happen in the coming year.

Please expire the term of a despised life locked away in my chest.
May I die to myself more often.
May He live in me and guide my sails.
