Astral Navigation

You remember wisdom from your great grandfather, Klickus; "If you are ever lost in the woods my lad, merely look to the stars and allow them to guide you home."
Loooking back on it now, Klickus had awful advice, what exactly are you looking for? Is it just that obvious?

What do you do?
Look for the constellation that looks like a sauce pan.
Look for the constellation that looks like a line.
Look for the constellation that looks like a scorpion.
Look for the constellation that looks like a man.
