Considering how the universe is full of stuff circling around stuff circling around stuff circling around... the zodiac signs have moved over the last couple of millenias.

Not that I believe in astrology, but just because the constellations moved doesn't mean that humans weren't able to track them. They still form a ring around Earth and the precession of the Zodiacs still occurs.

The fact humans are able to track them is how we know the zodiacs are no longer accurate. According to astrology if you were born on Dec. 1 for example, you're considered a Sagittarius... except you're ACTUALLY a Scorpio, due to the constellations shifting.

They weren't ever accurate. It's just for fun.
