=== Sun, Moon, and Stars ===
Often employed in [[Diagram#Argumentative Diagrams|Argumentative Diagrams]]<ref>It was an argumentative diagram, calling out to outside forces.  [...]  There was no sun, moon, or stars, there were no coordinates, nothing to suggest there was a specific outer power, and the contents of the circle were vaguely key shaped, with symbols around the edges. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/23/playing-a-part-15-8/ excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.8]]</ref> or [[Diagram#Celestial Diagrams|Celestial Diagrams]]. Can be used to specify coordinates, including coordinates in alternate [[Realm|Realms]].<ref>The sun, moon, and stars were often coordinates for diagrams and rituals.  That got into celestial practices and the more intricate timings, processes, and programming language type stuff that went into the ''really'' advanced magic circles.  The coordinates would let a diagram point to a very specific time, place, and effect, for summoning specific, dangerous things, or referencing other realities. [...]

The orrey felt like a diagram in brass, wire, and mirrors.  A central fixture absorbed the light from above, that light was refracted down.  The goal wasn’t to give coordinates to something predetermined.  The goal was to ''set the'' coordinates.

To actually take this place that Thea was building and put it on the map.  The fact that the orrey could ‘see’ the real noontime sun, nighttime moon and stars mattered.  Later, it would let other practices use celestial runes and settings to target the world.  Thea could hitch other practices to it or build doors. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/23/playing-a-part-15-8/ excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.8]]</ref>
