True info about constellations

[HelenaPrimic]

Hello all sky and Universe lovers,

I have one very practical question: where or with which app can I follow the actual and real info about 13 constellation - when the Sun is "moving" from one to another star constellation?

I just found out that classical astrology is tottaly not in synch with all the 13 star constellations, that this path is every year little bit diferent and all constelation doesn't have same amount of days. So I would like to follow actual stars above Earth (when each constellation is in Sun). Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Astrology and astronomy are very different things. Astronomy is based on science, astrology is not.

The precession of the equinoxes is the gradual shift in the Earth's axis of rotation, causing the positions of the equinoxes to move slowly westward along the ecliptic, completing a full cycle approximately every 26,000 years

Movement of "Aries" into other constellations is explained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aries_(constellation)
as:

The First Point of Aries, the location of the vernal equinox, is named for the constellation. This is because the Sun crossed the celestial equator from south to north in Aries more than two millennia ago. Hipparchus defined it in 130 BC. as a point south of Gamma Arietis. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the First Point of Aries has since moved into Pisces and will move into Aquarius by around 2600 AD. The Sun now appears in Aries from late April through mid-May, though the constellation is still associated with the beginning of spring
