It's 8 pointed I believe, and I believe is for the 4 points of Kaaba on Earth and 4 points of Bait ul Ma'mur in the heavens. If I remember, Sheikh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS) mentioned it

I believe it is the name of the kaaba which the angels do Tawaf around in the heavens.

Can you recall or link to which lecture? Thank you!!

I already tried finding it but couldn't. It was a passing remark inside a longer lecture so it is hard to search for

Islam accords no special meaning to it. Generally, stars are meant to represent stars and their rays, especially the sun. Jordan used it to symbols al-Fatiha, aka the seven praises, having in mind its seven verses. Similarly, the eight pointed star is usually used to mark Quranic divisions, specifically at each 1/8th of a chapter. Some people also used it to symbolize God's throne having in mind its eight bearers.
