Why do astrologers continue to use signs of the zodiac which no longer reflect the sun's positions in the sky?

Because of shifts in the calendar dates for the sun's "visit" to each sign of the zodiac, why hasn't astrology updated the system to reflect the knew astronomical reality?|||Astrology works just as well with the errors as without, which is to say, it doesn't work at all!





Torg|||There are many kinds of astrology, and not all astrologers are concerned with updating their charts to reflect the latest astronomical discoveries.





Besides, when you don't have to show your work, as is the case with newspaper astrologers, you're free to make stuff up without regard for what's going on in the skies. When is the last time you read in a horoscope something like "As Venus squares Jupiter..." or "When Mercury trines Mars..."?|||The constellations are still there though and the sun moves through them.





They have shifted though yes, and continue to do so.





I will add though that as far as we know humans mapped out the constellations (as far as we know) but then again they invented Gods also.|||Cuz if they cared about facts they wouldn't be astrologers?|||Because it doesn't matter if you use nonsense reasoning when you are making stuff up.|||If it ain't broke don't fix it.|||because the con artists who still use it are in for an easy money grab,


they have no interest in putting effort into it.
