Today:
Prowling the heavens about halfway up in the southwest this evening, you’ll find Leo, the Lion, emerging at about 9:30 PM. Leo is one of the horoscope signs, its traditional dates of late July into the third week of August marking when the sun was against the background of these stars 5000 years ago. This now happens one month later.
