When you see the constellation Leo rise in the night sky, which constellations follow it?

and in which direction in the sky in the northern hemisphere?





is it in a straight East to West direction or is it diagonal across the sky?





please describe and explain.





Thanks for your answers!|||Leo follows along the ecliptic, the same route that the sun and moon follows. So east to west, but mainly south east to south west.





Right now Leo has Saturn in it, leo is followed by coma berenices and Virgo.|||It goes in a straight East to West. At first we'll see Coma Berenices following and then later on Virgo will be following straight behind.





You can use an interactive star chart to see what I'm talking about. I set mine to Nome, Alaska since that's where I'm at. Just find any Northern Hemisphere town and it will adjust the settings for you, or else you'll have to put them in yourself.
