Can anyone understand this from Cnósach Focal?

Tugann an seans agus an mí-sheans cúrsa mion minic ar chruis na dtrí rian

Luck and bad luck often make their course on the three-pronged cross??? I obviously am not getting this.

I'd have understood cruis na dtrí rian as "the crossing point of three paths". Based on that I'd have taken the idiom to mean "good or bad look often influence which of two paths are taken".

Thank you. That makes sense.
