17. However fascinating (although disorienting) all this is developing for us we have to move on in order to continue with our quest for the orbit of Mars. Next in the ecliptic line after the Cancer constellation is Leo. We have already touched the Lion:

Viz. at the unlucky star 4 Leonis:

... Interestingly, since another meaning of shi is 'death', the number 4 is considered unlucky. (For example, the floor numbering in hotels sometimes jumps mysteriously from 3 to 5; it's also considered unlucky to give four of something as a present.) ...

I.e., where this End star Alterf will be visible in the evening night of June 14 AD 2023 at a place which will be 200 days before the end of the year in December 31 (165 + 200 = 365):

The last glyph on side a of the G tablet is number 229, and 2 * 29 = 58 = 300 - 242 (number of glyphs on side b of the G tablet).

... Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years) ...

This suggests we should look further ahead in order to find the 'freshly baked and hot' new Lion. And we can find out that Mars will be close to the new Little King, Regulus (α) in July 10 (191) AD 2023 - with Venus not far behind:

At the nakshatra side should be the opposite type of king, viz. the wet and lucky Sad-al-melik (α Aquarii, *332 = *152 + *180):

Remarkably the date according to the era of Bharani was "July 10 and in AD 2023 the planet Mars is bound to reach Regulus in July 10.

If Sadalmelik is down in a wet place then Regulus should be high up in a dry place. Therefore Leo must be a Mountain Lion. i.e. a Puma:
