The image of twelve stars on Our Lady's head comes from Apocalypse (Revelations) Chapter 12:
"And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (Apocalypse12:1)
Catholics believe this woman is Our Lady and the crowning with twelve stars, clothing with the sun, and the moon under her feet are a symbol to show Our Lady's crowning as Queen of Heaven.
