Hello,

Could some one please help me with translating the phrase "the seventh star" into Latin?

Thanks in advance.

septima stella.

thanks!

I wonder if there is a variant with the words 'astrum'. Something like "septimus astum"?

salutations, Demona.

there is the word "astrum", but it has a different meaning.
"stella" means "star", which is a celestial body formed by nuclear fusion, for example, the Sun. "astrum" can be, for an instance, an asteroid, not only a star.

the variation of the phrase with "astrum" would be:
"septimum astrum" or "astrum septimum",
because "astrum" is neuter, so "septimus" changes to "septimum" for agreement.

salutations,

Thanks for explaining! I see the difference. Now.
