Exclusively for Vogue Scandinavia's Society members, astrologer Clarisse Monahan of Venus in Retrograde charts each month's most powerful cosmic shifts, breaking down exactly how to understand, navigate and benefit from them

For those watching the daily unravelling of the American empire with a certain schadenfreude, the current travel situation in the States must seem extra delectable. Due to understaffing and underfunding, the security lines at airports are now lasting 8 hours or more in some places.

This mess is the perfect symbol for a lot of things. For one, the political standstill in Washington, DC, has caused the underfunding crisis to begin with. But it’s also a great image for the annoying Aries Moon on April 17th, during which we will have a pile-up of seven planets (!!!) in rather close proximity. Expect a very hot and bothered day.

Aries is our cardinal fire sign. It is ruled, moreover, by aggressive Mars, the zodiac’s mischief-maker
