Zodiac sign of LEO in a 15th century manuscript

Image by Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
The zodiac sign of LEO is associated with the month of July and it is represented by a lion. In most of the standard iconographic compositions, the animal is shown standing, or else depicted seated on its haunches. The animal is usually shown in a landscape and Its tail usually curls over its body and often its mane is displayed. Being that many of the artist and illuminators responsible for these works had never seen a lion, some representations were based on cats and dogs. In the modern horoscope, the zodiac sign of LEO covers the period from about July 22 – August 23.
