To be 'well-starred' is to be of good fortune, promising fate and desirable destiny. A similar expression is used in Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet when he describes the couple as 'star-crossed' lovers. In this case Shakespeare means to express that the tragedy that is to befall them is already written in their destinies and reflected in the stars. As you probably know, the cosmological patterns of the heavens were frequently believed to mirror or foretell the ongoings on earth- If you are well-starred it's because the heavens reflect positively in regard to you.
