well, almost.
'astrii' means 'to commit one's self to'
I think you're looking for astri or astris.
and both stellis and astris are correct; it's a matter of subtle connotation. stellis is the plural of star; astris is also the plural of star, but it can also refer to a constellation.
So, it would be similar to the difference between 'the stars' and 'the heavens' in English.
A matter of poetry, really.
