Yes, it depends on the year... The Sun Sign is the position of the Sun in one of the twelve sectors... The same as the Mercury Sign, the Mars Sign, the Venus Sign...
With the Sun is just easier because the year was defined as the time the Earth takes in spinning around the Sun i.e. from the Earth's point of view, the time the Sun takes travelling around the Earth...
The solar year is divided in 12 months and the sky in 12 sectors (the zodiac signs), so the Sun spends about a month in each sector... But the boundaries are a bit variable...
that's why, depending on the specific year, the Sun can be in a sector or the adjacent on the same date...
I hope I made myself clear... and not too boring!!!
