A zodiac constellation in the northern
hemisphere between Cancer and Virgo, near
Ursa Major, and represented as a lion. The
Sun passes through Leo from mid-Aug to
mid-Sept. Its brightest star is
first-magnitude Regulus (Alpha Leo), a
blue-white star 85 light years away; Regulus
is at the base of a cluster of stars called
the Sickle. In astrology, the dates for Leo
are between about 23 July and 22 Aug (see
precession).
