An **astral ecstasy** is a type of altered state of consciousness characterised by a state of trance and reduced external awareness upon one's observation of the night sky and astronomical phenomena and occupied by visions and emotional euphoria similar to general religious ecstasies. Crucially, the subject inducing the ecstasy is the night sky. Astral ecstasies are considered among Astronists to be one of the highest forms of astronality.

Astral ecstasies may either be induced by hallucinogenic drugs or uninduced. The present stance of the Astronist Institution on the matter is to discourage drug-induced astral ecstasies and to promote the uninduced form that Astronist mysticism aims to achieve.

These types of experiences have been reported throughout history although the most recent and arguably most significant were the ecstasies of Cometan which provided him with sufficient astrospiritual insight to found the religion of Astronism.
