And if the Solar System is moving due North toward Polaris, then the Sun that we "see" is 8.3 minutes South of the actual position of the Sun itself due to that delay in Light reaching the Earth from the Sun.

No it doesn't, do the math. Take it up with Einstein if you're still unclear on the concept, he's on my side.

But I'm sure you know that already. So stop trolling me or I hit the abuse button.

Physicist, would you care to beat on him for a while? My arm's tired.

Then in that case you simply don't understand the concept that the Sun is moving, and while it is moving it takes Light 8.3 minutes to travel the distance from the Sun to the Earth, so when the Light reaches the Earth it is the Light from where the Sun was located 8.3 minutes ago, not the Light from where the Sun is currently located.
