Astral

/ˈæstrəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to stars, or in some spiritual beliefs, relating to a non-physical plane of existence.

Etymology

From Latin 'astralis' (belonging to stars), from 'astrum' (star). The literal meaning is astronomical, but it gained mystical associations in occult and new-age spirituality.

Kelly Says

Astral projection' is the idea that your consciousness can leave your body and travel the universe, which sounds like science fiction but reflects humanity's ancient wonder about stars and our place in the cosmos.
