Planet positions for July 4. Exposing the Heavens, facing west, with the Pyramids of Giza in view. The Original Greek calendar of the Zodiac, showing the Sun's 13th day in Gemini. People born today are Gemini. Not Cancer. The horoscopes that you've been reading for years are wrong for roughly 69% of people because the star constellations you were born under may not be the same as they would have been on your birthday when the zodiac system was developed around 2,500 years ago. When the ancient astrologers categorised star constellations into times of the year, they had no idea that the Earth actually wobbles around its axis in a 25,800-year cycle.
This "wobble" is called precession and is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth.
Over the past 2,500 years this wobble has skewed the Earth so that most star signs for people alive today are now wrong by almost one whole month.
A 24-hour time-lapse of the sky in about two minutes with enlarged planet sizes for easier viewing.
