Today:
You find two familiar constellation rising in tandem this evening. Due east prowls the Lion, Leo, coming into his own as he returns to the skies each spring, his head and front shoulders in the form of a backwards question mark. Mirroring this pattern, as well as climbing higher to the left of Leo, you see the familiar pattern of the Big Dipper, oriented vertically as a large question mark, halfway up in the northeast.
