WHAT?

"...consider this: your zodiac sign corresponds to the position of the sun relative to constellations as they appeared over 2200 years ago!

Over the past two-and-a-half millennia, this wobble has caused the intersection point between the celestial equator and the ecliptic to move west along the ecliptic by 36 degrees, or almost exactly one-tenth of the way around. This means that the signs have slipped one-tenth-or almost one whole month-of the way around the sky to the west, relative to the stars beyond.

You will most likely find that once precession is taken into account, your zodiac sign is different."
