The Sun is currently in the constellation Sagittarius on New Year's Day. When Bega is the North Start, what constellation wil the Sun be in on January 1st?

Answer 1

I believe you mean Vega, not Bega.

Precession of the equinoxes, the motion of the earth's axis so that the north celestial pole follows a circular path among the stars every 26,000 years, will not affect the position of the ecliptic (earth's orbital) plane. The sun will follow the same path in the heavens every year. However, where it is on a given date (such as the winter solstice, when the sun is farthest south of the celestial equator) will vary.

The length of the synodic year in the Gregorian calendar is chosen so that equinoxes and solstices occur on the same dates, regardless of precession.

The period of precession is 26,000 years; Vega will be the North Star in 13,000 years. The sun will move six constellations ahead on a given date. If it is now in Sagittarius at a certain date on New years, it will move to Gemini
