@JamesK this is a question of spherical astronomy, not astrology.

Your motive isn't my concern, but to keep this question open for answers, you'll need to [revise it](https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/posts/34753/edit) in terms that don't trigger astrology haters.

@Trip I only slightly disagree with Carl Witthoft. I didn't think it is a matter of belief of what the sun is, I thought it was a matter of definition.  I don't think this is the place for archaic definitions, calling the sun a wanderer.  I think it would be best to go by the agreed upon definitions used by this SE. Using an archaic astrological definition in this question I'm voting to close.

Trip, I think the community here would be more forgiving if you could provide a rationale for you wanting to know these dates.

@PM2Ring I accidentally hit send. The first one can be found in the Tomb of Senenmut. All classical planets are in Leo. The second one is the Metternich Stele. The third one is the Mithras Zodiac. I’d share picture here but I’m not sure if thats possible. I’m interested in this for purely astronomical and historical reasons. I could care less what astrologers think about this

@PM2Ring Here’s the full list of dates I’d like to verify. I just picked the ones all in Leo because I figured they’d be the easiest to determine - https://ctruth.today/2019/01/18/new-chronology-zodiac-list/

# When can the Sun, Moon and the five naked-eye planets all be in Leo?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-17)

What are the possible dates for the seven (classical/mediaeval) planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus) all being in Leo?

I’m not sure how to figure this out on my own. I’m interested in this for the purposes of historical dating. Example: the planetary positions are recorded in art. These positions are only possible every so often and I’d like to know the possibilities.

Here’s one of the example. This is called the Metternich Stele, named after the Prince who received it shortly after its discovery. [![The original](https://i.sstatic.net/42ei6.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/42ei6.jpg)
