Planting civic “seeds” (yes, even the spreadsheet kind) 

A New Moon is the lunar reset button: a fresh start, a quiet beginning, the moment you plant seeds for future growth. You don’t see results right away—kind of like updating a permitting portal or writing a five-year capital plan. But what you set in motion now builds momentum over the next cycle. 

This New Moon lands in Sagittarius, the sign of big ideas, long-range vision, learning, truth-telling, and “let’s aim higher.” For municipal workers, that translates to: training, policy direction, public trust, regional partnerships, and plans that don’t fit on one slide.

♈ Aries 

Your town is ready to “go big or go home,” except it’s going to a conference and coming back with 14 new initiatives and one commemorative tote bag. Focus on training, regional planning, and visionary policy updates.

♉ Taurus 

This is peak “funding season” energy. Bonds, grants, partnerships, and that one line item nobody wants to explain at the public hearing. Set intentions for sustainable financing, shared services, and fiscal transparency (yes, even the scary parts).

♊ Gemini 

You’re in collaboration mode—aka meetings with meetings attached. Great time to launch agreements, strengthen inter-municipal relationships, and negotiate win-wins. Pro tip: bring snacks. Diplomacy runs on snacks.

♋ Cancer 

This New Moon is giving “clipboard with feelings” energy. Focus on workflow, scheduling, staffing support, and service delivery. There’s a need for better systems and better morale—because “we’ve always done it this way” is not a wellness plan.

♌ Leo 

This lunation says: “Let the town shine.” Perfect for festivals, arts programming, parks activation, and youth initiatives. There’s a boost of civic joy—because sometimes public engagement looks like live music and a very competitive chili cook-off.

♍ Virgo 

Home base gets the spotlight: facilities, housing, land use, and the stuff literally holding everything up. Plant seeds for resilient infrastructure and smarter long-term planning. Your motto: “Measure twice, repave once.”

♎ Libra 

Time to upgrade comms—newsletters, signage, community updates, and the tone of that one social post that accidentally sounded like a scolding. Try for clearer messaging, better listening, and fewer “per my last email” moments.

♏ Scorpio 

This is a values-and-vaults New Moon. Where is the money going, and does it match what the town says it cares about? Plant seeds for budget clarity, new revenue strategies, and fewer surprise expenses (looking at you, emergency repairs).

♐ Sagittarius 

It’s your cosmic rebrand moment! Big vision, refreshed priorities, and a bold leadership tone are front and center. Decide how your municipality wants to show up — then back it up with real action (and maybe a mission statement that doesn’t sound like copier instructions). 

♑ Capricorn 

This is the “quiet planning that saves everyone later” zone. Perfect for audits, internal reviews, futureproofing, and clearing out what’s draining capacity. Do the invisible work now, then emerge later like: “Surprise, we fixed it.”

♒ Aquarius 

Your town is in big-picture mode: long-range plans, tech upgrades, civic innovation, and collective visioning. Focus on initiatives that actually feel forward-thinking — not just “we added a QR code and called it modernization.”

♓ Pisces 

Your municipality is “public-facing” right now, meaning everything is optics and operations. Lead with transparency, keep promises realistic, and remember: “We’ll circle back” is not a strategic plan.
