The Nautical Star is a symbol which is often associated with sailors and those who make their living on or by the sea. Quite apart from the military/naval connotations, the nautical star recalls the sailor's reliance on celestial navigation. At times, the nautical star can be colored in red or green to symbolize membership of the port or starboard watch, respectively. Often, though, the symbol is used to convey an allegorical, rather than a literal, meaning. The link to celestial navigation could, for example, symbolize that the wearer's wish to find his or her way home safely, particularly in the case of military personnel. Further, it could express a desire to find one's way in life more generally. Decorate Your Mantel, House, or Barn.
