Astronomical observation
The signs and the stars
The signs of Western astrology were fixed about two thousand years ago. Because Earth's axis slowly wobbles (precession), the Sun today stands in front of a different constellation on those dates, roughly one sign earlier, and its path also crosses a thirteenth constellation, Ophiuchus. The signs are a calendar of symbols, not a map of the sky.
