    South

    Explanation:

    The declination of a star is measured in degrees, whether if it's north (+) or south (-). Also, the declination has a central line that defines the north and the south that is called the celestial equator. If a star has a + 90 degree declination, then it's referring to the North Celestial Pole; and if the star has a - 90 degree declination, then it's referring to the South Celestial Pole.
