You learn this in high school or college when you study the effect of a force on a spinning body, such as it happens when a top is spinning on the ground and you watch its axis move. It's called axial precession. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_prece鈥?/a>

This is known for hundreds of years, but it's consciously ignored by astrologers which are well aware of this effect; it's one of the thorns in astrology pointed out by astronomers to astrologers.



There's no "pole shift" or "2012 disaster" or "mysterious forces" or anything like that. It's the kind of science that school kids and adults scowl on and attribute to geekdom. Once in a while, the ignorance bites them in the a$$...



Astrology is a superstition published every day in newspapers.

Astronomy is a science timidly published by newspapers once in a while (and poorly done so).Ive checked a few sites and the sun is sitting in the gemini constellation atm?It's only astrologers who think that the Sun is in Cancer. That's because they never look at the sky, and couldn't care less what the real stars and planets are doing.
