The GIF above shows the constellations on the eastern horizon of Chardon, Ohio on the day of the vernal equinox (March 20) from about 3,000 BC to 3,200 AD. This shows the sun move through Aries, Pisces, and Aquarius. The astrological ages (Great Months) are defined as:
| Constellation | Year entering | Year exiting |
|---|---|---|
| Taurus | 4500 BC | 2000 BC |
| Aries | 2000 BC | 100 BC |
| Pisces | 100 BC | AD 2700 |
The shifting backdrop of the constellations is due to the precession of the Earth's axis. The cycle of the precession takes about 25,700 years, hence an astrological age takes about 2,141 years.
