Just like a spinning top, the Earth's axis of rotation wobbles - it takes about 26000 years to make one complete wobble.
The Zodiac signs in the newspapers are based on the sky about 2500 years ago. Now, the Sun passes through thirteen constellations, not twelve:
Pisces -> March 13 - April 19 Aries -> April 20 - May 12 Taurus -> May 13 - June 20 Gemini -> June 21 - July 19 Cancer -> July 20 - August 11 Leo -> August 12 - September 17 Virgo -> Sepetember 18 - October 31 Libra -> November 1 - November 21 Scorpius -> November 22 - November30 Ophiuchus -> December 1 - December 18 Sagittarius -> December 19 - January 18 Capricorn -> January 19 - February 17 Aquarius -> February 18 - March 12
