In ancient Egyptian and in my humble experience, the soul appears as a Star indeed. It’s been said the defied or enlightened soul called an Akhappears as a Star.
The spiritual star is also described in the Vaishnava tradition and particularly in the text knowing as Spanda Karikas (divine pulsation) which describe the opening of the ajna chakra. The ajna chakra is not eye exactly but a Portal to the spiritual world, the opening (star) is simple externalisation of that process.
Although I hugely doubt that you can get an akh away from a person. There is aslo the soul star chakra which I haven’t worked in that system that much and I don’t know exactly if we talk about the same thing.
But I made a more informed post here
