Here is a movie of the Sun "moving" through the zodiacal constellations, as viewed at local noon somewhere on the Equator. For clarity's sake, the blue sky and the equatorial horizon have been turned off. Think of yourself as looking straight up at local noon.The movie starts on the Summer Solstice, so it is 23.5 degrees above your zenith. Your zenith is in the middle of the movie. Notice the "black dots" that frequently pass nearby and partially in front the Sun: they are the new Moons. Also notice that when the Sun passes through Aquarius, there is a planet "circling" it. That planet is Mercury. Finally, notice that the Sun is a "month behind" astrologically speaking. At the beginning of the movie, it is leaving Taurus and entering Gemini. It should already be "in" Cancer (since it is shining directly over the Tropic of Cancer). Why is it late?If you can't figure it out, go to this web page.
