What does this quote by Emily Dickinson mean?

Question

I have this bracelet that says "For what are stars but asteriks to point a human life" by Emily Dickinson and i wanted to know how it can be interpreted.

Answer 1

Go thy great way!

The Stars thou meetst

Are even as Thyself --

For what are Stars but Asterisks

To point a human Life?

It means that the stars are nothing more than an asterisk, a footnote telling about life.

Answer 2

It  means  a  human  is  like  a  star , shiny , bright  and  brilliant

Answer 3

My favorite poet!  The primary reason that I am so drawn to her writing is that it is so puzzling.  What does it mean?  What does it matter?  Is it not fascinating to think of what she must have been thinking to write such words.  She is not here to tell us and there is so little known of her life except for that small masked face hiding behind her enigmatic poetry.  Can we not read it simply to appreciate her imagination and creativity?  Must we know what it means?  What it meant to her?  I think not.

Answer 4

using the stars as something to aspire to? to make the great shine that much greater? it is kind of a weirdly worded quote.
