Why does the Sun cross Scorpio at other dates (about November 23–29 (then Ophiuchus, until December 18))? The signs were fixed more than two thousand years ago. Since then the Earth's axis has slowly turned, and today the Sun crosses each constellation weeks later than its sign. Find your real sky.
