well. many cultures have *old* mythic associations with the three stars that 
make up orions belt .. in paricular the central one, often associated with 
"creation" (maya, eqypt, ancient cambodian ....).  lot's of associations with 
"star's" in many cultures (see: the quarterly Parabola for excellent tales 
from all around the world on this and many other concepts) 

OK, splitting hairs ,,, call it "center of the star" ... ends up meaning the 
same thing.  old assocuaitions, new beginning ... evolution from what was 
instead of revolution away from ... implies stability ...  maintanence of 
existing family / tribe / clann associations while growing into unique future.
