This small exercise can encourage us to feel the constellation with our eyes and experience its body. In fact, the constellations are not just points of light that are connected to form lines; they also have a corporeality, a \u201cbody-ness\u201d [<em>Leiblichkeit<\/em>] that can reveal itself across distances with our eyes\u2019 \u201csense of touch.\u201d Though the constellation of Aries is rather small, it is firm and unshakeable. Aquarius in the south is quite different. Here, a sprawling, vast form stands in the heavens, an elastic starry body. Matthias Girke spoke in his lecture about the starry side of the \u201cI\u201d.
