About this event

"Rise and Align: Harnessing Planetary Power in Everyday Life" Summary: Join Vogue Scandinavia astrology columnist Clarisse Monahan for a talk celebrating her new book, Rise and Align , an invitation to bring the magic of astrology into everyday life. Drawing on the ancient relationship between the planets, the days of the week, and ritual, Clarisse explores how planetary timing can help us work with cosmic forces rather than against them. Rise and Align offers simple daily practices for connecting with the distinctive energy of each planet. Discover how small rituals, performed at the right time, can turn the everyday into something a little more magical. Bio: Clarisse Monahan is the founder of Venus In Retrograde, an astrology-focused brand offering a range of services, from one-on-one consultations to corporate team building and product activations. As a resident astrologer for Soho House, Clarisse also travels extensively, lecturing on astrological topics at their Houses worldwide. An expert in astrocartography – a branch of astrology that uses natal charts to align individuals with places ideal for work, family, and romance – she has been featured in Marie Claire, Condé Nast, and the Evening Standard, and writes on the intersection of astrology and culture for Vogue Scandinavia.
