To be honest, I believe the motif is more likely to be idols/stardom than the astronomy-related motifs suggested. The primarily demographic for the Precure series is young girl in Japan and astronomy doesn't really seem the sort of thing they'll be into, while idols on the other hand is indeed popular among the young girls in Japan, evident by the success of idol-related franchises like PriPara and Aikatsu in recent years. It would make sense for Toei to make an idol-themed Precure series since that's what the young girls are currently into and would likely take their interest.

Not saying that astronomy doesn't appeal to young girls at all, I'm saying that idol and stardom presumably outrank astronomy in terms of motifs that appeal to young girls, which is what the producers are likely to choose from.

Plus the design of new logo gives vibes that it'll be an idol-themed season if you ask me.
