It’s our grand finale prompt of Leo Season — your cosmic permission slip to take up space, radiate joy, and be unapologetically you. Bonus points for great hair, fabulous accessories, or a killer playlist while you read.

This is your moment to choose a book that encourages you to step into your power — whether that means chasing a dream, owning your weirdness, or embracing the spotlight.

📚 Prompt 5: Read something that inspires you to shine brighter.

💬 Your turn:

• What book have you chosen for this prompt?

• How are you letting yourself shine off the page this week?

• If you could give yourself a one-line pep talk right now, what would it be?

Let’s light up this thread like the Leo Sun itself. 🌞

Alright, radiant readers — time to close the book (or just the week) on our glow-up prompt. ✨

This week we:
💄 Found main-character moments
💖 Witnessed epic transformations
📚 Discovered that sometimes the biggest glow-up is inside

Drop your final thoughts, favorite lines, or the scene that left you feeling 10 feet tall. 
We’ll sweep up the glitter and cue the next adventure on Sunday. 🪩

This week, we’re celebrating transformation. 💫
Prompt #4 is all about self-love, confidence, and glow-ups—inside, outside, or both.

Think:
💃 A character stepping into their power
💄 A full glam makeover moment
🦁 A shy soul finding their roar
💖 Or a real-life memoir that inspires you to shine brighter

📚 The magic of this challenge? You don’t have to have been here from the start. Just pick a book that fits, even if you’re still reading something from an earlier prompt.

👉 Your turn:

• What’s your pick for this week?

• Have you ever read a book that made you walk a little taller in real life?

Drop your answers in the comments so we can cheer you on. 🌟

It’s Tuesday, and the curtains are rising on our third Leo Season reading prompt: Center Stage!

This week, we’re reading stories about performers, artists, or bold creators—any character who steps into the spotlight with flair. Drag queens, drama kids, misunderstood musical prodigies, creative rebels… if they steal the scene or live for the applause, they’re in.

Leo season challenges us to be seen, to express, and to embrace our inner diva (or theater goblin). So:

🪩 Who’s center stage in your reading world this week?
🎤 Drop your picks below—or tell us about a character who made you gasp, laugh, or cheer like you were front row on opening night.

Before you float too far into the Lounge, here’s a little galactic etiquette to keep our orbit peaceful, playful, and purposeful.

This isn’t your average online space — this is a vibe. ✨

🌈 Cosmic Lounge Guidelines:

1. Kindness is non-negotiable. We don’t all have to agree, but we do have to be respectful. Empathy, curiosity, and a little humor go a long way.

2. This is a judgment-free constellation. Spiritual newbies, skeptics, mystics, and mood ring collectors alike are welcome here.

3. Share the space, not just your stuff. Feel free to contribute insights, questions, and creativity — but no spammy self-promotion or selling.

4. Honor boundaries and privacy. This is a safe place for self-reflection and exploration. Be mindful of oversharing or probing others.

5. Ask first, then float. Curious about starting a new Topic? Have an idea for a community activity? Stellar — just check in first.

6. Keep it groovy, not grim. We’re here to explore the stars, not spiral into existential dread (unless it’s part of your Saturn return — in which case, we’ve got snacks).

Let’s co-create a space that feels like a moonlit campfire, an astro book club, and a soulful salon all rolled into one.

💖 Be real. Be respectful. Be radiant.
