In Brief: All of the Sailor Soldiers with the exception of Sailor Moon received Star Tambourines from Artemis which release blasts of star shaped energy at their targets.
Cultural:"The close grouping of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn to within 8 degrees of each other in Pisces occurs only once every 800 years. Jupiter was the ``star'' of royalty and luck and Saturn was the star of the Mesopotamian deity who protected Israel. Both of these rare conjunctions could have been predicted by the ``wise men from the East'' and could have been interpreted by them that a great king was to be born in Israel (Herod, king of the Jews at the time and very paranoid about being displaced, was therefore upset at this news). Though Jupiter and Saturn never got close enough together to be confused as a single object, the word "star" had a different meaning to the wise men than it does for us today and their definition could have included a planetary conjunction."

The Move: Sailor Mars holds her Star Tambourine in her right hand and holds it up. She then brings it down in three shakes and then points it at her target to release a blast of star energy shapes. While most of the time the stars' colours are red, occasionally they are a bright gold colour depending on the episode.
