"108 Stars of Destiny" - 08-10-2008, 07:29 PM

There's something I don't understand with the title "108 Stars of Destiny" (天導一百零八星).

The first kanji is 天 (ten) and the second kanji is 導 (dou). Tendou means "heaven" yet they use the word "destiny" instead when translating. Tenmei (天命) is supposed to be "destiny". So in other words, it seems like the title should be "108 Stars of Heaven".
