” I fear, too early: for my mind misgives

Some consequence yet hanging in the stars”

When Romeo says “some consequence yet hanging in the stars” it is a metaphor meaning that if he attends this party his “consequence” would be going to heaven. The metaphor also refers to what people say that are in the stars which is heaven. God lives in heaven, therefore Romeo lets God decide his fate.
