Maagen = Star in Hebrew.  A derivative of that word is Mazel, as in Mazel 
Tov.  Mazel means Luck.  The phrase originally meant "Good Stars," or "Good 
Fortune".  

I have a friend who's been reading up on Astrology for a Science and 
Mythology-type class.... you learn all sorts of interesting trivia.  :)
