Lamat
South
Beautifies
Star is the seal of art, elegance, and harmony. It carries the energy of beauty as a form of truth, the instinct that refuses to let something be ugly when it could be beautiful. Star energy elevates whatever it touches, quietly insisting that how something is made matters as much as what it is.
