Astral

Astral refers to things or phenomena related to the stars or celestial bodies, often used in contexts such as astral projection or astral plane. The term is derived from the Latin word astralis, which means "pertaining to the stars." In Hebrew, the equivalent term is אַסְטְרוֹנִי (astroni), though it is more commonly used in the context of astronomy. In Spanish, the term is astral, and in French, it is astral as well. The concept of the astral plane is prominent in esoteric traditions, where it is believed to be a non-physical plane of existence. Astral projection, on the other hand, is a purported out-of-body experience where an individual's consciousness is said to separate from the physical body and travel in the astral plane. These concepts are central to various spiritual and metaphysical beliefs, though they lack empirical scientific support.
