That wobble gives us our seasons.
No, it doesn't. The wobble takes over 20,000 years to complete one cycle. A cycle of seasons happens once per year. An interesting thing about the precession of the equinox caused by the wobble, though, is that all the houses of the Zodiac are more than one house off from what they were when they became fixed in tradition. That is, if you're a Scorpio, it's because that's the sign under which you would have been born several thousand years ago. It's not the constellation under which you were actually born now. This is, in and of itself, sufficient to invalidate the whole notion of astrology.

So, the Scorpios should actually be Librans, or the Librans Scorpios. And such very different personality types. ;-)
