Starr is a modern astrological meaning of a binary star. Starr means binary star system of two stars in which one star revolves around the other or both revolve around a common center.

Starr is a binary star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common barycenter. Systems of two or more stars are called multiple starr systems. These systems, especially when more distant, often appear to the unaided eye as a single point of light, and are then revealed as multiple by other means.

In an eclipsing binary, the two components orbit each other in such a way that they periodically obscure or eclipse each other as viewed from Earth, causing changes in their observed brightness. Eclipsing binaries are also considered a kind of variable Starr.
How do you identify a Starr?
