Click on the image to view a demonstration of precession.<\/p>\n<p>Because our planet Earth is tilted by 23.45 degrees, it also precesses. The result will be a shift in the position of the constellations relative to us on Earth (video care of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/astronomy.swin.edu.au\/sao\/\">Swinburne Astronomy Online<\/a>).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The result is shifting of the constellations. This means that the Astrological plots and predictions based on your birth sign are really off by one month. For example, I was born in early March so my Astrological birth sign is Pisces.
