Hiwa-i-te-rangi
Wāhine/female (Greek: Celaeno)
The star associated with granting our wishes, and realising our aspirations for the coming year.
Hiwa nui, Hiwa roa, Hiwa pūkenga, Hiwa wānanga! Hiwaiterangi tēnei te korou o te manawa koronga, tēnei te āwhero o te manako nui. Horahia nuitia mai ngā hua tuawhiti mātinitini o te tau. Purutia e au kia mau te angitū, tāwhia te momoho kia ita! Ka puta ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama!
Great Hiwa, long-established Hiwa, skilled Hiwa, wise Hiwa! Hiwaiterangi, this is the wish of the desiring heart, this is the determination of the longing heart. Spread out in plenty the of multitude of immense opportunities. Hold fast to succeed, hold firm to good fortune! Go forth into the world and prosper!
