Morphology
astral = astr + al
The adjective is built from the classical combining form astr- plus the common suffix -al, but astr- is not a standalone English word and the spiritual extension of meaning is not fully predictable.
Etymology
Astral comes from the Greek root astron meaning 'star', the same root you see in astronomy. So, astral means 'relating to the stars' or to a spiritual, non-physical world people imagine is connected to the stars.
