Behind Cancer is Leo.

Leo is the fifth house of the zodiac, and the date of birth is from July 23rd to August 22nd. It is located in the south of Ursa major, between Cancer and Virgo.

In Leo, six stars from ε to α form a sickle, representing the lion's head and chest, and α (Xuanyuan XIV) represents the lion's heart. From α via ρ to ο is its front foot, δ, θ and β constitute the lion's back body, and the two strings of stars starting from θ are the lion's two hind legs.
