Constellation

A named star pattern, drawn as points joined by lines. THIN ROW: attested only as “moon phases with constellation maps” in a combination list. Registered rather than folded into motif_star's variants because a constellation is a distinct drawable object with its own geometry, not a rendering mode of a star. No meaning edge - and note that the ASTROLOGICAL reading a reader would expect here belongs to zodiac material that T11.7 already declined to derive from a search summary.

    iNKPPL Tattoo Magazine

    Tattoo magazine article on one motif, and the richest plural-meaning source in this sub-batch. Verbatim: "The Moon is linked to feminine energy, intuition, and emotionality", "The Moon symbolizes cyclicality and rebirth", "A Moon tattoo also reflects the individuality and mystery of its wearer", and a PHASE-CONDITIONAL pair that is the reason this motif carries a sub-state axis: "The waxing crescent symbolizes setting intentions and building toward goals, while the waning crescent represents release and letting go of what no longer serves you." REFUSED FROM THIS PAGE: "In many Native American traditions, the moon represents the divine feminine and is often called Grandmother Moon" - a trade magazine asserting the religious practice of hundreds of distinct living nations. No edge was built from it; routed to T11.10.
