Revelation 6:3

³ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

Apocalypse Revealed # 333

333. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth. (6:13) This symbolically means that all concepts of goodness and truth were dispelled.

Stars symbolize concepts of goodness and truth, as may be seen in no. 51 above. To fall from heaven to the earth is, clearly, to be dispelled.

Stars in the spiritual world appear to fall from the sky onto the earth there, too, wherever concepts of goodness and truth cease to exist.
