As a Leo, I’ve always wanted to feel more connected to the constellation—but I never saw a lion. Stellarium’s version reads mouse to me (not duck), but Rey’s interpretation has always resonated more … probably because I was a horseback rider, and I’ve always thought it looked more like a horse. Seeing that shape made it feel like mine in a way the abstract star blobs never did. I’m intrigued by the idea that these shapes weren’t meant to be literal depictions—that actually explains a lot. I’m not totally sure all the classical connections land for me, but I love the direction your brain is going with it. Definitely one of those posts that gets me thinking about the sky a little differently.
Aw thank you! Keep this article in mind for when you write your review of The Empress, that's about all I can say without giving too much away ; ) Out of curiosity which classical connections don't land for you? I kind of think Orion looks like a giant butterfly.
