    But even the ancients noticed that the sun had changed its position in relationship to the stars at the time of the solstices and equinoxes. I have always chuckled at astrology that assigns statuses to people born while the sun is in a particular constellation. The problem with this is that the dates given for the sun being in the birth constellation are incorrect and the sun is actually one and a half constellations removed from the stated constellation for those dates due to precession of the equinoxes over the time period since the astrologers set up their reckoning.
    Here is a link to an interesting article about the movement of the stars:
