What Does This Romeo And Juliet Quote Mean? "I fear too early , for my mind misgives some consequences hanging

Question

"I fear too early , for my mind misgives some consequences hanging in the stars"

Answer 1

Well, I think it's Benvolio saying they shall 'come too late' to the party at Juliet's house, but Romeo, showing foresight of what is to come i.e. them dying etc (which is a common theme throughout the play) 'fears too early' - he thinks that something bad will happen as a consequence of him going, which is of course perfectly true. The 'stars', symbolise fate, astrology being very popular in Elizabethan England and again a very common theme in the play ('I am fortune's fool', etc. etc.)

Answer 2

Basically it's saying..

I'm worrying over something that hasn't happened yet.

My mind comes up with consequences for events that haven't even occured.

Answer 3

Just a guess, but sounds to me like a longwinded expression for a premonition-type feeling that something bad is going to happen.  Intuition. Foreboding.

Written in the stars (hanging in the stars)

Any help?
