Contemplating Shay, ancient Egyptian god of Fate, shown here as the Graeco-Roman Agathos Daimon -- the personification of destiny which none can escape but to whom offerings can be made.

Agathos Daimon is also a god of fortune-telling. To understand Fate, we must first learn not only to read the signs and stars, but also to translate them properly.
