Precession

The slow wobble of Earth's axis — why tropical and sidereal zodiacs differ.

Earth's axis wobbles like a top, completing a circle about every 26,000 years. This slowly shifts which stars sit behind each sign — the famous "your sign moved" objection.

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, pinned to the seasons rather than the stars; sidereal systems pin to the stars. Both are internally consistent; Soulolo follows the tropical wheel with real planetary positions.
