Its really getting harder to spot stars this nights as due to the rainy season the sky is cloudy.
I cant even spot leo tonight.
Maybe you guys may a have a better luck finding it if the sky is clearer in your location tonight.
Leo, apart from sounding like lion reminds me of Leon from biohazard 4.

Leo /ˈliːoʊ/ is one of the constellations of the zodiac, between Cancer the crab to the west and Virgo the maiden to the east. It is located in the Northern celestial hemisphere. Its name is Latin for lion, and to the ancient Greeks represented the Nemean Lion killed by the mythical Greek hero Heracles meaning 'Glory of Hera' (known to the ancient Romans as Hercules) as one of his twelve labors. Its old astronomical symbol is Leo symbol (fixed width).svg (♌︎). One of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, Leo remains one of the 88 modern constellations today, and one of the most easily recognizable due to its many bright stars and a distinctive shape that is reminiscent of the crouching lion it depicts. The lion's mane and shoulders also form an asterism known as "The Sickle," which to modern observers may resemble a backwards "question mark."

    Looking at the stars reminds me of memories of my late dad when i was little
    When we would lie on the car hood watching the sky at night.

Also viewing the constellations give it a little sense of magic than just viewing a single star.
