Did that consultant inform you of the fact that your star sign is not actually your star sign? Something 99% of these scammers out there don't seem to realize.
A horoscope is an astrological forecast. The term is also used to describe a map of the zodiac at the time of one’s birth. The zodiac is divided into twelve zones of the sky, each named after the constellation that originally fell within its zone (Taurus, Leo, etc.). The apparent paths of the sun, the moon, and the major planets all fall within the zodiac. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the equinox and solstice points have each moved westward about 30 degrees in the last 2,000 years. Thus, the zodiacal constellations named in ancient times no longer correspond to the segments of the zodiac represented by their signs. In short, had you been born at the same time on the same day of the year 2,000 years ago, you would have been born under a different sign.
In fact, there should be 13 signs, not 12. It is this fact of precession which has altered the very constellations from which masses "derive" their charts.
Precession of the equinox is caused by the fact that the axis of the earth's rotation (which causes day and night) and the axis of the earth's revolution around the sun (which marks the passage of each year) are not parallel. They are 23 l/2 degrees away from lining up; that is, the earth's axis of rotation is tilted. This tilt also causes our seasons, a fact that Ptolemy did understand but that many people do not understand even today. Ptolemy understood that the rotation axis of the earth was slowly precessing, or moving in a circle, with an angular radius of 23 1/2 degrees with a period of around 26,000 years. He deduced this from comparisons of data taken by the ancient Sumerians 2,000 years before his time. He did not understand what was pushing the precession, but he did understand the motion. We now realize that the sun is rotating with a period of around 30 days and that this causes the sun to bulge at the equator, which causes a torque to be exerted on the top like motion of the earth's day and night cycle. There is also a small 18.6-year variation caused by the moon's orbit around the earth, and the moon also has a small effect on precession; however, the sun's equatorial bulge is the main cause of the precession of the equinox, which is why your sign listed in the newspaper, by Sidney Omar for instance, in most cases is removed by one sign from the modern, actual position of the sun at your birth.
I think that was acknowledged for around 2 millenia now. Most astrologers acknowledge precession and do account for it. There's the whole sidereal vs tropical zodiac discussion which is worth investigating, because it addresses your argument. I just think astrology, at the very least, warrants some more consideration rather than just finding copy pasta online that fits into your current paradigm that no way astrology can work. I thought astrology was BS too, that they just either said general things to convince you or scheming. I'm sure some do, I also think humans are fallible and that's why there's so much inconsistency in astrology and as such, very easy to attempt to discredit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_and_tropical_astrologyand A.T. Mann does take into account precession. Possibly why he was so good at reading me? I don't know, but like I said, it was simply astonishing to witness the way he determined all those things about how I was conceived and grew up with 100% accuracy like that. I did not give him any clues, yet he corroborated everything with what my mom has told me about my prenatal story. simply my anecdotal evidence and a plea to explore more that of which you do not know or understand fully. there's no harm in knowing more, at least. you never know what you're missing when you close yourself off. besides, it's such a fun way to look at things
