How to determine the sides of the horizon from a star?

It is necessary to navigate the North Star, because it does not move across the sky like other stars. The North Star points to the North. To determine the other sides of the world, you need to face the North Star – this will be north, to your right – east, to your left – west, behind you – south. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, then the North Star is not visible there. You need to navigate by the constellation Southern Cross, it points to the south. The main thing is not to confuse it with the False Cross. A distinctive feature of the Southern Cross is two companion stars, which are located not far from the cross itself, and the stars that form this cross are located closer to each other than in the False Cross.
