Due to the precession of equinoxes, the Earth's axis slowly wobbles over a 26,000-year cycle. This causes the tropical zodiac (Western) to drift away from the sidereal zodiac (Vedic) by about 1 degree every 72 years. Currently, this difference is approximately 23-24 degrees, meaning your Vedic Sun Sign is likely one sign earlier than your Western Sun Sign.
