It literally means "good luck", but it's used for "congratulations".

Going way back, it's interesting to notice that the constellations, particularly those of the zodiac,

are known in Hebrew as the "mah-zah-LOTE", singular "mah-ZAHL". It's pretty clear that way back

in the day, when you wished someone "mazal tov", you were wishing him "good constellations",

or "good horoscope".
