Leo is the fifth zodiacal constellation, as well as the most easily recognized in the sky: a lion crouched looking toward the west, whose head and mane are very visible thanks to the sickle stars similar to a question invested, which draws a curve to the north of Regulus (cc Leo). The constellation Leo is located just south of the stars "indicator" of the ladle, and to the northwest of Virgo. Its peak takes place at the beginning of March.

  1. I quite liked this part of your blog because it speaks about my sign and I didn't know its story was mythological, and I found the story about Hercules quite interesting.
