1.
"Celestial gateway" for "estrella posta" based on my understanding of "posta here in terms of definition 6 of the RAE:

6. f. Conjunto de caballerías que se apostaban en los caminos a distancia de dos o tres leguas, para que los tiros, los correos, etc., pudiesen ser renovados.

2.
I don't see "Great Central Sun" or anything remotely literal working here for "Gran Sol Central." My rendering here, though admittedly wordy, seems to capture the intended sense. Important to keep in mind that we are dealing here with rather flowery and poetic language.

Suerte.
