The planet Venus is named for the Roman goddess of love and is always the brightest point in the sky. The Romans built temples to Venus, and since it was the first "star" that could be seen in the sky for much of the year, and always the brightest whether seen in the morning or the evening, it was an easy way to remember it as a prayer point. What is the #1 thing that people prayed to Venus for? Love, of course. The prayer evolved into a wish as people forgot the Goddess of Love and her origins, and the wish expanded into realms well outside the beginning point. Like so many other traditions and habits engrained in people that have found their way into modern religions, wishing upon a star evolved from an ancient pagan religion.

What are the superstitious beliefs and practices about stars?
The most common and prevalent superstitions about stars have to do with Astrology. The belief that where the stars are in the heavens at the moment of your birth can determine anything and everything from your personality and medical traits to who you should marry and how you will interact with the other people you meet in the world. Stars are thought to be able to grant wishes. In one belief if you say the poem "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish to night." to the first star of the evening it will grant your wish. In another it is said the a person who counts nine starts, nine nights in a row may have a wish granted. It is said to be bad luck in some places to point at the stars. You might offend the gods and they will ill-wish you. And finally the milky way is thought to be the "Starry road" that departing souls take to the afterlife.

no
When you wish from a star will it come true?
Its is true that shooting stars cannot grant wishes on their own. They are like cars, they need a driver to reach their destination. But for me a wish is more likely to come true if you wish on normal stars as well as shooting ones. In the evening when I see the first star of the night I say "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." Then make your wish. Keep trying and you'll find it motivates yourself to make your wish true yourself no matter how hard. :)
