[Upon a background of astrological imagery merged in accord, basic point-and-line astronomical/astrological representations of Scorpio, Libra, Virgo and Leo are illustrated.]
[(Scorpio may be slightly rotated/translated for aesthetic reasons.)]
[Red lines have been added to link stars in adjacent constellations.]
[ Pi Scorpii(Bottom left connection) is connected to Upsilon Librae]
[...also Beta Scorpii(Top left connection) may be connected to Theta Librae]
[ Alpha Librae(Middle connection) is connected to Mu Virginis]
[ Nu Virginis(Right connection) is connected to Beta Leonis (better known as Denebola)]
