Astropsychology of Emotions, Affects, Feelings, and Passions
A study linking astrological elements like the Moon to emotional states and affects.
Popescu classifies emotional experiences by their astrological drivers. He separates emotions from affects, feelings, and passions. Each category receives distinct treatment based on celestial correspondence. The text uses the Moon to explain emotional baselines. It compares these bases to biological markers like blood groups. This method bridges astrology with psychological terminology. The book avoids general horoscopes in favor of structural analysis. It appeals to those interested in the metaphysical roots of behavior. The author does not claim universal applicability but offers a specific astrological model. Readers seeking practical spell or ritual advice will not find it here. Instead, they get a theoretical breakdown of affective states. The work stands as a niche reference for occult psychology.
This 2008 publication sits at the crossroads of Western esotericism and pop psychology. It reflects a period where astrology moved from fortune-telling to self-help analysis. The UK publisher suggests a European interest in mystical theory.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Popescu offers a compelling integration of astrology and psychology, providing a unique lens for examining human affect. However, this book is not suited for casual readers seeking quick horoscope-style answers or those who reject esoteric frameworks entirely. It requires patience and an openness to complex theoretical synthesis, as it delves deeply into the mechanics of feelings rather than offering simple predictive advice. Readers looking for light, entertainment-focused astrology may find the dense psychological differentiation tedious. It is best appreciated by serious students of the occult arts who are ready to engage with a rigorous, structured approach to their own emotional and spiritual development.
