Earth's movement through the Ages

Girl of the Water unregistered	posted April 12, 2006 08:51 PM Why is it that Earth takes 2000 years to move through a sign? Pluto, the farthest planet out there takes only about thirty years at the most, so why is it that Earth takes such a long time to pass each constellation? Does anyone know any good websites that explain this? IP: Logged

For example, in the age of Aries the Earth "pointed" at the Aries part of the sky. Today the earth is closer to being "pointed" at the Aquarius part of the sky. Pointedly, Tim IP: Logged
