What does ASTRAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to or resembling the stars, or connected with a supposed non-physical realm said to exist beyond the physical body.
In ordinary and scientific writing, astral simply means to do with the night sky, as in astral navigation or the astral position of a comet. In esoteric and New Age writing, the same word instead names an imagined spiritual double, one that believers claim can leave a sleeping person during a so-called astral journey, quite apart from ordinary bodily existence. The two senses share only the notion of something distant from everyday life, whether that distance is outer space itself or an invented spiritual domain.
How ASTRAL is used
Used both in plain descriptions of stars and, more often today, in esoteric or spiritual writing about a supposed non-physical realm.
- Ancient sailors relied on astral navigation to cross open ocean.
- The observatory tracks the astral positions of distant bodies.
- She described a vivid astral journey during her meditation.
- Believers in astral projection claim the mind can leave the body during sleep.
- The poem compares the lovers to astral bodies forever out of reach.
