Looking for a fitting phrase

Hello,

I'm having troubles translating a text into English. I need (ideally) a phrase meaning something like "the constellation of stars was just suitable (for something to happen)".

Thanks for any help

You will probably get better answers if you provide more context but you might try this "the stars were aligned."

More context is needed. Something like:

(It was) a propitious (or auspicious) alignment of stars.

might work.

Many thanks to both of you.

Here is a bit of context:



What gave them their strength and courage still remains unanswered. Where did they take the support and inspiration from? Was it the feel of the era? Were the stars aligned for them?
