It is shown that galactic-disk monopoles could yield air showers which are stochastically aligned with the local Orion-arm magnetic field and which are above the energies of similarly aligned galactic heavy nuclei. In the absence of a cosmic-ray anisotropy, this method sets limits on the flux of galactic monopoles and their production cross sections. Limits based on the cosmic-ray anisotropy at 10 to the 19th power eV are presented. The possibility of stochastic alignment of inverse Compton photons from monopoles and 2.7 K black-body photons is considered. The resulting monopole-flux limits, based on the same data as those calculated by Osborne (1970), differ significantly from Osborne's limits, where the mechanisms of spiral-arm alignment and galactic containment are ignored.
