This line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet implies that fate still has some unknown outcome in store for the characters, suggesting that their actions may be predetermined by destiny. It reflects the idea that one's future may already be determined and that events can be influenced by forces beyond individual control.
Romeo fears that his actions will have negative consequences. The line "some consequence yet hanging in the stars" suggests that fate has something in store for him that is out of his control, which contributes to his feelings of dread and helplessness.

Throughout the play, the stars are used as a metaphor for fate. This comes as a result of the belief in astrology which was common in Shakespeare's day. The notion was that one's future was predetermined by astronomical events like the position of the stars. Thus future events could be thought of as "hanging in the stars". The "consequence" means something happening afterward. His line "my mind misgives some consequence, yet hanging in the stars, shall bitterly begin his fearful date with this night's revels and expire the term of a despised life." means that he has a premonition that there's a fatal and fated consequence of his crashing the Capulet party of which he is not yet aware.
Romeo. But your quotation is wrong. What he really says in Act 1 Scene 4 is: I fear, too early: for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night's revels
"My mind misgives some consequence, hanging in the stars, shall bitterly begin his fearful date with this night's revels." He doesn't say that he has this sense of foreboding because of the dream he had, but it could be.
Stars are a recurring theme in Romeo and Juliet. Many of Shakespeare's plays have a key word which runs through the play: "moon" in Midsummer Night's Dream, "blood" in Macbeth, "honest" in Othello. In R&J, the word is "stars". It symbolizes fate ("star-crossed lovers", "I defy you, stars", "some consequence yet hanging in the stars") and also pure light, uncorrupted by the mundane, in which sense the lovers often imagine each other, as in "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return", and "when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night".
They all have same nature laws and particles and were all formed as a consequence of the Big Bang some 14.5 billion years ago. .
The word "star" appears frequently in Romeo and Juliet, in the same way as "moon" appears in A Midsummer Night's Dream and "blood" in Macbeth. Sometimes Shakespeare seems to have employed the image of stars as an image of beauty, and sometimes as an image of fate (due to their astrological connection). Use of the word in connection with fate include:"star-crossed lovers" in the prologue"some fearful consequence hanging in the stars" in 1,4"I defy you, stars!" in 5,1"The yoke of inauspicious stars" in 5,3Use of the word in connection with beauty include: "Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light" in 1,2"two of the fairest stars in all the heaven" in 2,2"Take him and cut him out in little stars" in 3,2
"I fear, too early; for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin his fearful date with this night's revels and expire the term of a despised life, closed in my breast, by some vile forfeit of untimely death." (lines 106-111) meaning: My mind is fearful that some future event, fated by the stars, shall start to run its course tonight and cut my life short. in other words: Romeo is afraid of something that will set things into motion that night will ultimately result in him being dead
If you are using it to refer to hanging some one by the neck, it's hanged. If you are saying "I will hang my socks on the clothes line", then it is hung.
Stars symbolize a number of things. Primarily, fate, as in "star-crossed lovers", then I defy you stars", "some consequence yet hanging in the stars", or "the yoke of inauspicious stars". But they are also symbolic of the light and brightness which exists at night, the time of love. Thus Capulet says "Look to behold this night earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light." Juliet will take Romeo and "cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." Romeo uses the starry-eyed symbolism too: "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return."
