Discover equinoxes: twice-yearly events when day and night are nearly equal length worldwide. Learn about their celestial mechanics and cultural significance!
The concept of astrological ages, like the Age of Aquarius, is based on the slow wobble of Earth's axis, known as the precession of the equinoxes. This causes the apparent shift of the vernal equinox through the zodiac constellations.
Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the Earth's axis slowly wobbles, causing constellations' apparent positions to shift over millennia. This means the Sun is no longer in the constellation traditionally associated with your birthdate astronomically.
