"Stars" can be any of several characteristically "star-shaped" geometric figures with multiple points. Within Freemasonry there are several configurations of stars which represent multiple meanings. Most prominent are five-, six- and nine-pointed stars.

If referring to the physical objects known as "stars", several configurations known in astronomical terms as "constellations" also represent certain spiritual and moral lessons. One of the best examples of this, seen frequently on Masonic trestleboards, is the constellation known as "Orion" (RA 5hrs, decl +5 deg., quad NQ1).
