Right, well the centre of the current syllable (which may of course also be a character in case of using the "char" modifier) is $scenter for X coordinate and $smiddle for Y coordinate. Then it's just generating your clipping coordinates using that as center.
I think letting all stars have the same rotation will look a bit dull, so perhaps make a way to have each star have a unique (random) rotation. I'd write a generator function for a star as a function in a "code once" template. (Parametrise it on centre coordinate and radius.)
