That's correct. The zodiac has precessed relative to the seasons. This is the definition of the "Age of Aquarius": that the sun is currently in Aquarius at the time of each vernal equinox, even though by historical definition the vernal equinox should occur at the border from Pisces to Aries. The sun has shifted by 1.5 constellations since the ancient originations of astrology.
