Theodora NightFall

Hi, my name is Theodora NightFall, the founder of “NightFall Astrology“.

I’m a professional astrologer of Bulgarian and Lebanese/Phoenician heritage. The Phoenix is the symbol of Phoenicia, current-day Lebanon. This is the perfect representation of why I chose to “rise from the ashes“, and start practising astrology professionally. I’m also a Scorpio moon and rising, and again, this sign in its highest manifestation is akin to the Phoenix’s transformation.

Phoenicia was under Babylonian rule from around 605 BC to 538 BC. From what we’ve gathered so far from historians and archaeologists, Babylon was where Astrology originated.

Not only that, but according to Ancient Hellenistic Astrology, the Middle East (anciently known as the lands of Mesopotamia and Canaan) is governed by the sign of Scorpio.

My religious background is also very rooted in mysticism (Orthodox Christianity).

I got into Western Astrology 6 years ago using 2 main sources: books by the GIANTS of traditional Western astrology, such as Vettius Valens, Claudius Ptolemy, Abu Ma’shar, Abraham Ibn Ezra, Jean-Baptiste Morin, William Lilly etc., and through professional training at 2 of the best astrology schools: Chris Brennan‘s Hellenistic Astrology School and Rumen Kolev‘s Babylonian Astrology training programme.

In addition to my astrology blog articles, you will also see articles about History and Philosophy and how they all tie in together.

I have an academic and professional background in Science (Baccalaureate in Physics) and International Law/Relations (Double Master of Laws).

I’m currently based in Strasbourg – France, and I am a French national. I speak fluently 4 languages: English, French, Bulgarian, and Arabic.

Work ethic

In my astrological practice, I align with Christian principles by emphasising human agency and divine sovereignty. I integrate a reflective approach inspired by Stoic philosophy, which teaches self-control and resilience as tools to navigate life’s challenges. This perspective complements a Christian understanding that we are not passive observers but active participants in the unfolding of God’s plan for our lives.

Astrology, when used responsibly, serves as a tool for reflection, not prediction. It indicates the ‘nature’ of a specific time, helping us prepare and act wisely, always mindful that the Triune God (Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit) holds ultimate authority over our destiny—not the planets or stars. We are given free will to choose how we respond to life’s challenges, allowing us to grow and evolve in faith and character.

In my practice, I combine traditional astrological techniques with modern psychological insights to guide you toward self-awareness and personal growth. Your natal chart is a roadmap of potential, but fulfilling that potential requires effort, faith, and a commitment to living virtuously in alignment with God’s will.

Please remember that astrology is a supplementary tool for reflection and should never replace professional advice. An astrologer is not a doctor, therapist, financial adviser, or spiritual guru. If you face serious difficulties, seek help from qualified specialists. Astrology provides additional perspective, not definitive answers.
