Leo. Computer artwork of the constellation of Leo (the Lion),with a red line showing its shape in the sky. Leo is the fifth of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The stars of Leo form two groups,a triangle forming the Lion's haunches and tail (at centre left),whilst a sickle-shape forms its head and mane. Leo's brightest star,Regulus,is at the base of the sickle & seems to be more important in mythology than the lion itself. The Egyptians accorded it power because the annual Nile flood came at the time when the Sun entered Leo | |
