Leo

Leo, (Latin: "Lion") in astronomy, zodiacal constellation lying in the northern sky between Cancer and Virgo, at about 10 hours 30 minutes right ascension and 15° north declination. Regulus (Latin for "little king"; also called Alpha Leonis), the brightest star, is of magnitude 1.35. The November meteor shower called the Leonids has its radiant, or point of apparent origin, in Leo. Many of the stars in Leo form an asterism called the Sickle.

In astrology, Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about July 23 to about August 22. Its representation as a lion is usually linked with the Nemean lion slain by Heracles (Hercules).

The day is likely to develop a spiritual tinge for you. You may engage in some religious activity or visit a shrine. Read some inspirational work or the biography of a great leader as you may find something highly relevant to your life in those works. It is better not to engage in raucous activities. Instead, spend the day in quiet contemplation and you will be able to find peace.

Whatever may be the person's background, a Leo will always have a kingdom of some sort. They have a pronounced flair for drama. They can create scenes in order to be the center of attention. Their theatrical mind reflects in positive and lively ways too - in dressing splendidly, doing things in a big way, organizing outings, and altogether making sure they get the best of everything - as well as providing the best they can for others. They are extravagant; money slips through their fingers. They are not only adept at organizing other people, they themselves are hard workers, and can set a good example.
