I received this message from TRADER TALK at AOL message board.
>>The planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies that are used to establish the
base reference charts, have moved over time. In fact, they have moved so
much that all, astrology signs are off by at least two signs.<<
Gerry, there is the ongoing "precession of the equinoxes." In about 2000
years, the Spring Equinox recedes through one sign of the Zodiac. Records
from well back in the past show that Spring used to begin in Taurus. The
constellations don't have precise boundaries, and the beginning and ending
points are approximations from the get-go, anyway.
Going back all the many years to when people decided to fix the Equinox at
zero degrees Aries, that's been our starting point since, and it's arbitrary
to call this the "Age of Aquarius" or any other sign.
The Earth is ellipsoid in shape, bulging at the Equator. The Moon's
gravitational pull, with the help of the Sun, makes the Earth "wobble" a
little, its poles of rotation gyrating around in a conical manner. All the
shorter-term wobbling adds up to an extensive, long-term motion with a period
of around 25 or 26 thousand years.
Modern astronomy shows that the cycle has a mean period of 25,695 years,
close to that mentioned by Plato: 25,920, and memorialized in the Great
Pyramid of the Egyptians : 25,827.
So a case can be made for shifting one sign every 2000+ years. Yet, it's
also no more than the Earth's axis of rotation twitching back and forth six
degrees or so, the North Pole pointing at Polaris most exactly on 2102 A.D.,
and most nearly at Vega in another 12,850 years or so.
I've got 8 nephews and nieces now, and I must say that they are all amazingly
true to what their natal charts forecasted prior to birth., regardless of any
sign-shifting that has occured over the centuries. Environment does make a
big difference, but when and where a person is born absolutely has impact,
from what I've seen.
One four-year-old niece, double Air Sign.... If I was her parent I think I'd
go to Keyword Straightjacket.
