About the author
Clarisse Monahan is an astrologer and the author of Astrocartography: An Astrologer's Guide to Where You'll Thrive (DK Publishing, 2025) and Rise & Align: Your Weekly Guide to Channelling the Power of the Planets (DK Publishing, 2026). Astrocartography applies the practice of plotting a birth chart against a world map to identify locations associated with different planetary influences, aimed at readers considering where to live, work or travel. Rise & Align works on a weekly rhythm, assigning each day of the week to a ruling planet and building guidance for planning around those associations. Both books are structured as practical, reference-style guides rather than narrative or memoir, intended for readers who already have some grounding in astrology and want tools for applying it to everyday decisions about place and time.
