From 1 century to 1990, Aries Palace is the horoscope of the vernal equinox, that is, on the first day of spring, the sun will appear in Aries Palace. At the same time, because astronomers have established the equatorial coordinate system with the vernal equinox as the origin of right ascension, the vernal equinox is represented by the sign of Aries Palace. Due to the precession of the earth's axis, the vernal equinox moved to Pisces after 1990.

However, Aries Palace is an artificially defined fixed sky area, and Aries Palace does not overlap with modern Aries Palace.
