In this episode, we attune to the soft, emotional waters of Cancer Season and prepare for the potent Cancer New Moon on June 25, 2025.

Cancer invites us inward — to rest, to feel, to reconnect with what nourishes and protects us at the deepest level. It’s a time to tend our roots so we can grow stronger branches.

We explore:

• The energetic themes of Cancer Season (June 21 – July 22, 2025)

• What the Cancer archetype teaches us about emotional safety, intuitive wisdom, and sacred self-care

• How the natural world mirrors Cancer’s energy of fullness, protection, and longing for home

• What the Cancer New Moon means and how to work with its energy for new emotional beginnings

• Somatic and spiritual practices to embody Cancer energy

• A guided check-in and body awareness practice that connects you to the parts of the body Cancer rules: chest, belly, and lower abdomen.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and come back to your emotional truth.

Reflection Questions:

Take these into your journal, a quiet walk, or meditation practice:

1. Where in my life do I feel most “at home”?

2. What does emotional safety feel like in my body?

3. What kind of support do I most need right now — and how can I offer that to myself first?

4. How can I nurture myself more gently this season?

📄 Episode Description:

This isn’t a Full Moon to “release” in the way we’re used to.

It’s a time to reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve tried to hide, fix, or exile — the ones you’ve labelled as too intense, too much, or not enough. In this episode of ALIGN, we explore the transformative power of the Scorpio Full Moon, not as a force to fear, but as a portal to deeper intimacy with yourself.

You’ll be guided through a moment of arrival and embodied presence, and invited into a new way of working with Full Moon energy — not from rejection, but from radical compassion and erotic presence.

We talk about:

• Why this lunation isn’t about purging but embracing

• What the Moon reflects back to us on the Taurus-Scorpio axis

• The role of Eros as your inner guide toward soul reclamation

• Embodiment cues to move energy through your body

• Reflection questions to help you uncover the wisdom within your shadow

This episode is a balm for the sensitive soul, the seeker, and the one who’s ready to love all of who they are.

In this deeply personal and powerful relaunch of the podcast—now called ALIGN—Paul Galloro shares a heartfelt reflection on heritage, identity, and what it means to begin again with integrity.

Sparked by the unexpected grief over the closure of Hudson’s Bay, Paul takes us on a journey through memory, cultural symbolism, and the pain of watching something sacred be stripped of its soul. He shares a raw and honest story of disillusionment with the wellness industry, the cost of shrinking to fit in, and the liberation that comes from reclaiming one’s voice and freedom.

This episode marks a new beginning—not as a brand, but as a being doing soul work.

🔆 In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The emotional significance of Hudson’s Bay and its stripes

• Paul’s experience navigating betrayal and spiritual bypassing in the wellness world

• The vow to embody truth, authenticity, and Love

• The new format of ALIGN — A little light from a sunbeam dancing through life.

• A grounding closing prayer to set your day with intention

✨ ALIGN is more than a podcast—it’s a soul companion. A space for embodied truth, real talk, and deep remembering.
