Why the dates can shift by a day

The tropical zodiac splits the year into 12 equal parts starting from the March equinox, which does not always fall at the same time. That is why start/end dates for a sign quoted by different calendars can shift by a day, depending on the year and time zone used.

Tradition/belief vs. fact

A distinction used on this site: something is treated as fact when it can be independently verified (a calendar date, an old translation); it is treated as tradition or belief when it is a cultural or spiritual interpretation with no scientific proof — such as horoscopes and numerology.
