One look up at the night sky when nothing is hindering your view can be overwhelming.\u00a0The night sky is full of wonders.\u00a0An infinite amount of stars are laid out before you, more than your eye can even see or take in.\u00a0 The miracle that is the sky has been the same magnificent beauty long before you got there.\u00a0 It is the same sky that humans looked up at 200,000 years ago.\u00a0 And, throughout history, humans have been looking to the stars for answers to many of life\u2019s hard questions.\u00a0 Cultures and regions have all discovered their own symbolism from the stars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the bible to the Mayans, the stars have always been a part of explaining where we come from and where we go.\u00a0 They have been a source of navigation for sailors first crossing the sea and a way of tracking time.\u00a0 Each culture throughout history has made discoveries in the sky or made their own interpretation of what the stars mean.\u00a0 The shooting star on its own has many distinctions.\u00a0 In ancient Greece, a shooting star represented the rise and fall of the human spirit, while in the modern world, a shooting star is a symbol of hope, and a chance to wish for a brighter future.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Out of all the interpretations of the stars, constellations have had one of the most significant impacts.\u00a0 Distinguishing different constellations in the sky has allowed us to map the sky and as such helped us to make discoveries of where we are.\u00a0 But, those same constellations have enabled us to interpret who we are as individuals through astrology.\u00a0 Depending on how the stars aligned at the very moment you were born, the stars can help to explain your own personality.\u00a0 These Zodiac interpretations have offered specific meanings for individual stars and clusters, each representing a significant aspect of life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The star has even been drawn and used to represent a multitude of things.\u00a0Something as simple as a gold five-point star is representative of a job well done.\u00a0 The six-point Star of David has representations in Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism.\u00a0 The Pentagram, a five-point star surrounded by a circle, has its own representation of our spirits connection to the elements.\u00a0 However, Christians used the symbol to represent the five wounds of Jesus, while it is a symbol of faith for the modern Wiccans.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ultimate star in our sky is the sun, which offers many of its own meanings.\u00a0The sun is representative of many things including, life, hope, and power.\u00a0 Native Americans believed the sun to be a guardian of the day and that it had the ability to heal.\u00a0 In the Zodiac, the sun is the most powerful symbol representing one\u2019s self and sense of vitality.\u00a0 The sun has even been worshipped as its own deity in cultures like ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The stars have carried many connotations for cultures, societies, and religions throughout time.\u00a0 There seems to be a consistent string that ties it all together, the stars represent answers to our many questions of who we are, and why we are here.\u00a0 At the base of it all, stars give us hope.\u00a0 When we look up at that endless night sky, we are reminded that we are much smaller than we seem to be in the grand scheme of things.\u00a0 This humbling feeling has allowed humans to interpret reason and purpose for millennia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Which brings us to the importance of the stars representing love.\u00a0 Connection with others may be the most important adventure we have on Earth.\u00a0 We refer to important relationships as \u2018star-crossed\u2019 or \u2018written in the stars’, it helps us to remember that there is a purpose to everything.\u00a0 So, there is no better gift for the most important person in your universe than the stars.\u00a0 By naming a star on CosmoNova, the next night you are watching the night sky, you can look for the one that means the most to you.<\/p>\n
