A god need not be associated with a star. That's not a
necessity for all religions, if indeed it is of _any_.

You worded your request, as you often do, in such a way
as to give yourself wiggle room later on.

What I have shown is a number of sea gods not associated
with Venus, and gods of justice and order not associated
with the sun, and which is all I needed to do to prove my
point.

Patrick's idiosyncratic rules of divine functions operate
nowhere outside his own imagination.
