eighth house
counseling and coaching
by means of Jungian astrology
“No one develops his personality because somebody tells him that it would be useful or advisable to do so. Nature has never yet been taken in by well-meaning advice. The only thing that moves nature is causal necessity, and that goes for human nature too. […] The developing personality obeys no caprice, no command, no insight, only brute necessity; it needs the motivating force of inner or outer fatalities. ”
C. G. Jung

Welcome!
Welcome!
I am Kristóf Csörnyei, an astrologer with a Jungian perspective. I created the “Eighth House” to support and encourage my fellow human beings who turn to me in the process of spiritual fulfillment — which sometimes drives the boat of our lives into very turbulent waters. The support I offer consists of the (over 4,000-year-old) experience and teachings of Western astrology on the one hand, and my own life experience, self-knowledge, intuition, and empathy on the other.
During the self-knowledge development consultations I provide, the psychological analysis of the birth horoscope (radix), including the Jungian analytical approach, plays a central role. Since our radix shows our basic spiritual tendencies and potentials in the language of a complex symbol system, divided into areas of life, it can help us to shed new light on our problems and obstacles — which, in my opinion, is the greatest blessing of astrology.
Ultimately, of course, only you can accomplish self-development. I can merely inspire you to consciously open doors in your soul that will lead you to a deeper understanding and full acceptance of yourself. During our work, we may knock on and look behind a few doors, and the direction is shown by your personal horoscope — which is unique and unrepeatable, just like you and this particular life of yours.
Rule of three
Rule of three
1. The key to change is self-knowledge and self-acceptance.
I am convinced that our emotional tensions and trials can ultimately lead us toward self-fulfillment. However, an essential prerequisite for this is transforming our complexes into constructive and creative sources of energy during the process of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
Therefore, if I had to formulate in one sentence what I consider the primary goal of my counseling work, I would say: to assist others in shaping a more authentic and complete self-image, in which the tension between conscious and unconscious "parts" diminishes. Thus, current obstacles or conflicts are seen in a new light.
That is why, whatever you come to me with, please bear in mind that, at best, I can only inspire your inherent self-healing abilities. Even if we shed light on certain things together that were previously hidden in the "darkness" of your unconscious, the subsequent self-acceptance is something only you can accomplish—specifically through your free (conscious) will, the power of which should never be underestimated.
2. The topics of the "eighth house" require serious in-depth study
and persistent spiritual work.
During our sessions, any aspect of the eighth house can arise. Therefore, it might be helpful for you to know which psychological areas are symbolized by the most contradictory house in the birth chart, which inspired the name of my counseling practice.
The eighth house (or the Pluto/Scorpio domain analogous to it) symbolizes one of the most crucial aspects of human compulsion: the need for persistent research into the core, origins, and hidden motives of things, determinedly seeking the most essential starting point and fundamental building block. It also reflects our fear of death and our life instinct—our psychological drive both to destroy, dismantle, and eradicate, as well as to regenerate, rebuild, and be reborn. Thus, our internal conflicts, crises, and struggles are all themes of the eighth house, each hiding the potential for complete transformation and spiritual rebirth. This house also encompasses human tendencies toward extremes and radicalism, the desire for power, the ability to manipulate, every psychological aspect of sexuality, and latent, hidden talents and abilities waiting to unfold within the unconscious mind.
Lastly, but not least, the eighth house symbolizes our unconscious attitudes and expectations towards our fellow human beings, especially our partners.
In the context of Jungian psychology, this house represents the personal unconscious and the complexes residing within it, the shadow, the inner psychological representative (the anima or animus), and the mechanism of projection (the projection of our own unconscious onto the external world).
3. Change yourself on the "inside" so that you don't want to change
others on the "outside"!
In light of all this, I can promise you one thing for sure: after dedicated research into the mysteries of the eighth house, your life can change forever, and doors can open within you and in front of you that you never dared to dream of before. Most importantly, if you have done your work well, you won't want to change the world anymore, as during your psychic metamorphosis, you will realize that the world around us always changes in harmony with the world within us.
The long-awaited collective change of humanity can only be born from individual transformation. The key prerequisite for this is voluntary cooperation with our own unconscious and the resulting processes of becoming conscious. I offer you assistance in this journey if you feel the need for it and if you are curious enough to honor me with your trust.

About the consultation
About the consultation
My philosophy as a consulting astrologer
Since the birth horoscope does not describe the concrete reality, but its mental and physical possibilities, we cannot say anything for sure about the form and level of consciousness in which a given person is currently experiencing the complex archetypal patterns of their psyche. For this reason, the interpretation of the formula cannot be a series of one-sided statements - rather, it is a sensitive dialogue in which the essential questions unfold during joint thinking and attunement.
During the consultation, I call on my astrological knowledge and intuition to help me, so that based on the interaction of your horoscope and the content appearing in the conversation, I can identify where it is worth digging deeper. My approach is holistic, since everything is connected to something, and even seemingly simple questions often hide a layered inner reality. It is not “ready-made answers” that bring you closer to real insights, but questions that awaken self-reflection. Your horoscope is not a final answer in this, but a kind of inner map that helps you navigate yourself.
I don’t believe in templates or pre-recorded scripts — a consultation is always a shared, live dialogue, where the methods used often blend together naturally. That’s why the following consultation categories should not be rigid frameworks, but rather serve as points of orientation, illustrating how many different directions you can approach what you feel is important right now. And although “on paper” these are different techniques and perspectives, in reality they all lead back to the same “inner space”: your individual psyche and the current stages of your individuation. In each case, we start from your inner world, regardless of whether we are thinking about the future, examining relationship issues, or working with a stuck area of life.
Self-awareness and shadow-work
We draw attention to hidden psychic patterns that may be hindering your spiritual fulfillment process — and this is made possible by the psychological interpretation of the symbolism of your birth chart.
Jungian psychology calls the shadow the unconscious side of the personality, which often appears through projections, especially in our close relationships. These projected patterns can not only distort our perception, but they can also tie up psychic energy that we could use to develop our hidden talents.
Through dedicated shadow work, this energy can be released and consciously directed in a direction that brings true development and fulfillment. This is why the lotus has become the symbol of the Eighth House: it sinks into the mud every night, only to rise to the light the next day with unchanged purity. In an analogous way, a person becomes complete when their conscious and unconscious parts are in harmony – and thus they are no longer driven by internal conflict, but by internal strength.
Prognostic consultation
During the consultation, we examine the external-internal development directions and life cycle changes that will appear over the next 1–2 years. To do this, I use several astrological methods (directions, progressions, transits, solar), the interpretation of which only becomes truly personalized with a deeper understanding of your life and personality.
The goal is not to “outwit” fate, but to tune in to the archetypal nature of the upcoming changes. The more consciously we turn towards them, the more they become opportunities for transformation. Although the exact form of external events is always individual, internal readiness and openness largely determine how we experience them.
Astrological prognosis is not a prediction, but an opportunity: it invites us to recognize the cyclical processes taking place within us. After all, there are two paths to development: conscious or forced. If we reject the former, the “hand of fate” will sooner or later take care of the latter. Ultimately, however, the cosmic rhythm of our lives always serves individuation, or becoming our Self – it is up to us whether we cooperate with it or resist it.
Specific topics and areas of life
Of course, we can also work together on specific questions and life situations. The unconscious psyche often draws attention to itself through the conflicts and dilemmas of everyday life. Your birth chart provides a symbolic map of how you experience the psychological processes of various areas of your life, such as your relationships, your relationship to work, or your inner connection to your body. Instead of specific facts (“you are this and that”), it reflects more on how you are structurally “present” in various areas of life — and suggests their consequences.
During the consultation, I never make decisions for you, but I help you see the internal connections. Because all good decisions can only come from within. A well-formulated question — e.g. whether to do something or not — is valuable not because of my answer, but because on the one hand it points the way to your self-reflection, and on the other hand it helps you work with your horoscope in a targeted way.
And even if your question may be about someone else, the inner work is ultimately always about you. The goal of the consultation is not to find out the answer as soon as possible (although this can happen spontaneously), but to see more deeply why this question is currently bothering you.
Relationship Dynamics
In this consultation, we compare the horoscopes of two individuals to gain insight into the psychological dynamics, shared resources, and areas for development between them. Synastry examines how the various psychological functions of the parties interact, while composite (midpoint technique) is more likely to reveal the “shared psyche” of the relationship — that is, what two people come together to create in the relationship. Using the two methods together provides a comprehensive picture of how the relationship works.
Horoscope comparison is not only applicable to romantic relationships — it can lead to valuable insights into parent-child, friends, coworkers, or any other important relationship. The goal here is not to make judgments or labels, but to understand the relationship more deeply and to facilitate more conscious collaboration. Every relationship teaches us something about ourselves, and these methods help to give a name to these teachings.
If both parties want to be personally present at a couple analysis, a prerequisite is that they have previously participated in an individual consultation with me separately. This is important because working together can only be truly productive if a trusting relationship has been established with both parties, and if both parties already have some insight into their own psychological patterns.
If someone wants to “bring in” another person’s horoscope for a consultation without that person having been with me before (and this will not happen), then before our conversation I need to receive some kind of confirmation: the party concerned knows about it and agrees that we will be discussing their formula. Since the birth horoscope is a deeply personal map, I approach this issue with particular care and ethics, and the only exception is the parent-child relationship analysis.
Booking Guidelines
Booking Guidelines
First Time as a New Client
As a new client, the first consultation is 90 minutes long and costs 30,000 HUF. This includes the time I spend preparing, as before our session, I thoroughly delve into your birth chart, as well as your current transits and progressions (prognostic methods). I don't offer a one-hour consultation for the first session because that time would be insufficient for us to have a conversation with the necessary complexity and depth, given the lack of prior knowledge.
Discounted Consultation for Returning Clients
If you decide after our first consultation to return for a follow-up session at any time in the future, you will receive a discount as a returning client: the longer 90-minute consultation will cost only 24,000 HUF, and the shorter 60-minute consultation will cost 20,000 HUF.
Consultation Packages for Returning Clients with 10-15% Discount
If you feel that your current problems, blockages or inner work goals require a more exhaustive consultation process, then as a returning client you have the opportunity to purchase a three- and powerful consultation package with a 10% or 15% discount. In the case of the three-session package (65,000 HUF), you will receive a total discount of 7,000 HUF (10%), and in the case of the powerful package (122,000 HUF) you will receive a total discount of 22,000 HUF (15%).
In the case of packages, you only select the date of the first consultation when booking, and the rest will be agreed upon later. A maximum of 3 weeks can pass between the consultations included in the package, and I consider it ideal to meet every two weeks. It is also important to know that with my returning clients, in addition to the horoscope, I often work with MBTI-based self-knowledge methods and association exercises, which gently help to evoke unconscious content and to work with it.
Gift Card
You also have the opportunity to surprise someone you love with a gift card on a special occasion or holiday.
This voucher entitles the recipient to a first-time, 90-minute self-development consultation (in person or online), and it must be used within a maximum of 6 months after receiving it.
Since the appointment booking system unfortunately requires selecting a date to finalize the reservation, please choose any date a few weeks away. Don't worry, I will delete this from my calendar immediately after receiving the reservation, as the final appointment is always coordinated with the recipient of the voucher.
During the booking, I will need the billing details of the gift-giver, and I will naturally issue the invoice in their name. As for the recipient's information, you only need to provide their name during the reservation process — shortly afterward, I will send you the voucher in their name via email in PDF format (here you can view a sample). After you have handed over the voucher in printed or digital form, your loved one will need to contact me via email or phone to coordinate the appointment and provide their birth details.
More About the Appointment Booking Process
You can easily and quickly book the most suitable time for you for personal or online consultations in my online scheduling system. After booking, you will immediately receive a confirmation email. If it involves online credit card payment or pre-bank transfer, I will send you the related invoice through the szamla.hu system shortly after finalizing the reservation. If you choose an online session, I will also send you the Google Meet link for the video call in an email invitation.
During the booking, you can briefly mention the purpose or topics you want to address in our sessions (although this is not mandatory; you can also discuss this during the consultation). If you prefer to elaborate on this beforehand or have questions about any other aspect of the consultation, feel free to contact me via email (nyolcadikhaz@gmail.com). You can also reach me using the form under the "Contact and Location" menu, or send an iMessage or WhatsApp message to +36 30 958 18 02.
Birth Time
Since I need your exact birth time down to the minute to create your birth chart, please inform me during the scheduling if the provided time is only approximate and to what extent. Based on this, I can determine whether it is necessary or even possible to rectify the birth time based on major life events (this always happens before the consultation). Please note that while we can conduct a general self-awareness session even with an unknown birth time (based on the planets in signs and their aspects to one another), this type of horoscope analysis has its limitations. Also, if the uncertainty about the birth time is greater than a one-hour time frame, I do not undertake to rectify the birth time.
Discretion, Data Processing and Protection
I treat what is said during our sessions with complete discretion. I assure you that I only need your birth data down to the minute for the creation of your birth chart, and, in line with the General Data Protection Regulation, I handle and store it extremely confidentially, along with your other personal data. Therefore, it is mandatory to accept the terms of the Data Processing and Data Protection Declaration when scheduling an appointment or using the message-sending form.
Disclaimer
It is crucial to emphasize that the self-awareness sessions and supportive conversations I provide are not intended to replace the therapeutic process of a professional psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist, nor psychiatric treatments. The main goal of the consultations is to develop self-awareness and stimulate self-acceptance with the help of a "personalized destiny map", i.e. the natal chart, and not to replace a possibly justified psychotherapy process.
Rules Regarding Appointment Changes and Cancellations
Free modification of the reserved time is possible up to 48 hours before the consultation. If a request for time change is received after this period, you must pay half of the consultation fee, as I may have reserved a specific time slot for you for weeks, which was taken away from other clients.
For complete cancellations (without scheduling a new appointment), the following rules apply: if the cancellation is made more than 5 business days before the consultation, I will refund the full amount, deducting a 2% transaction fee. If you go beyond this but are still within 48 hours, I will refund 50%; between 48 and 24 hours, I will refund only 30%. In the case of a complete cancellation within 24 hours of the consultation, I will not refund any amount paid, and the same applies if you fail to appear at the consultation without prior notice.

About me
About me
I was born on October 29, 1993 in Keszthely, at 7:08 a.m. You can view my birth chart here. Among other things, I am a Western astrologer working with a psychological, including a Jungian approach. Regarding my qualification, I did a humanities major in Dutch studies, graduated in 2015. I worked for several years as a Dutch and English language teacher (in both individual and group education), and a total of 7 years as an HR-professional in the world of multinationals. In 2017, I moved to the Netherlands, where my personality development underwent a "quantum leap": it was there that I came into deep contact with astrology for the first time. "Astrology for Lovers" by Liz Greene was the first to come into my hands, and then dozens of books on similar topics — and soon enough my attitude towards the phenomena and experiences of life changed forever. After several months of intensive self-education, I enrolled in Dick van der Mark's school, where I received a sufficiently holistic education and was able to thoroughly familiarize myself with many, and at first glance, seemingly contradictory aspects of astrology.
Given that I've been reading Jung since I was 16, and that I've always been a huge "lover" of Jungian analytical psychology —including self-improvement using the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) — it's perhaps no surprise that my astrological approach and consultation method was most inspired by Dutch-born Jungian astrologer Karen Hamaker-Zondag. Her approach is very similar to the way the world-famous Liz Greene, Robert Hand, Stephen Arroyo, Jeff Mayo or even Dane Rudhyar approach astrology. In my opinion, however, Hamaker-Zondag developed the foundations of the Jungian approach (in the form of almost 40 published books), which provides the individual with the most effective tools to get to know and understand the conscious and less conscious functioning of his psyche in a deeper way with the help of his birth horoscope — thus promoting the spiritual transformation, during which self-acceptance and the desire to change are simultaneously inspired.
In 2021, I moved home from the Netherlands and founded my own business under the fictitious name "The Eighth House", through which I offer and lead self-awareness consultations and processes for those who come to me. The choice of name was inspired by two important aspects. On the one hand, I mostly invite my clients here, i.e., to intensive self-discovery analogous to the eighth house. Instead of giving black-and-white and yes-or-no answers, the focus of my sessions is to facilitate dialectical development, that is, to combine the conscious and unconscious contents of the psyche, creating an interaction between these two psychic realities — which hopefully fulfills and exceeds these two in a third, i.e. synthesis. Of course, as a helper, no one can carry out self-development for others, which is why I always consider it important to emphasize that I only inspire my guests to discover new dimensions in their own souls with a conscious intention, breaking down walls that until then stood in the way of a better understanding of themselves, and in the process of self-acceptance and transformation.
On the other hand, as a Scorpio- and Pluto-dominant individual that I am, the fundamental life themes of the eighth house are absolutely not "foreign" to me, i.e. cathartic sexuality, death, material and spiritual loss, grief, rebirth, transformation, projection attachments, secrets, and so on. At the age of 19-20, I witnessed and accompanied my mother's protracted cancer, physical and mental deterioration, and finally her death, which by definition sealed my further life path — today I feel that, ultimately, in an absolutely constructive sense. In my own self-awareness and therapy processes, I first of all had to become aware of the harmful and beneficial effects of parentification on my personality in order to be able to live in peace with myself. Like everyone else, I have my qualities and things that need constant attention and development, and it is extremely important to me that my "persona" as a counselor does not falsely give the impression of perfection. However, I would like to convey to each and every one of my guests — as a kind of spiritual motto — that even in this "great imperfection" it is possible to feel sincere, deep and nourishing love for ourselves and our fellow human beings. In fact, perhaps true love for ourselves and others is only possible by being aware of our human imperfection...
