In the list I gave of just one VMS cosmo page, there were a few 8 pointed 
stars. IIRC, earlier in the year I also catalogued all the stars in the 
starred paragraph section, and in the zodiac section.

It may well be that there is a demonstrable one-to-one correspondence 
between the number of points on a star in the zodiac section and the 
corresponding star traditionally ruling that degree. This might be a good 
way of definitively working out the correct zodiac nymph sequence! :-)
