Where a virgin is after a lion? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zodiac

'where a virgin is after a lion?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for zodiac that I've seen before include "Houses seen on a cycle" , "17 Across is a sign of the ......." , "Heavenly belt of star-signs" , "nd of sky divided into twelve parts" , "Celestial region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
