[SPOILERS] Night Sky stars named by the Westerosi

I don't know if anyone here posted this before.

Reading ASOS, Ch 26-Jon. Jon remembers the star names taught by maester Luwin. The ones I recognize :

  1. Seven wanderers - 7 stars of Big Dipper, forming a question mark or the 7 bright ones of Orion?? See no.8.
  2. Ice dragon - Draco
  3. Shadowcat - Lynx
  4. Moonmaid - Virgo most likely, but can be Andromeda too.
  5. Sword of the Morning - Cygnus, resembling a cross or a large sword with a large guard??
  6. King's crown - Corona Borealis
  7. Stallion - Pegasus
  8. Red Wanderer sacred to Smith of the Seven - Mars maybe? Ygritte called it Thief, but we know only one thief in the sky, Orion. Ygritte :"when the thief was in the Moonmaid, that was a propitious time for a man to steal a woman". So it's a wandering "star" that crosses the figures, ie a planet. Mars? What do you guys think?
  9. 12 houses of heaven and the rulers of each - ??
  10. ACOK, Ch 35, Bran - Osha : "Look for the Ice Dragon, and chase the blue star in the rider’s eye". -Star near the back of Draco, Polaris.

Any Thoughts? Constellations of all 4 seasons, but it's only late summer their. Pretty interesting.
