So, I was driving into work this morning and noticed something that wasn't right. I drive directly North to work and the Sun has always been right off my right shoulder at 3:00 (East). Today, I noticed that the Sun was behind my right should at 5:00 (South East). Has anyone else noticed this change and what are your thoughts?

I think if the sun had moved we would all be noticing it?

here ya go
Sun tools

The sun is actually constantly changing its position slightly as we swing around it year after year..but we don't always notice the subtle changes from day to day...however, if you take note if it one day, then a few months later, note it again at the same time, it would seem like everything went bonkers.

blame the daily grind for not being fully aware of nature I guess..who has time to every day study the suns positions..luckily we have tools for that.

LOL, No I was driving to work. Same road, straight North. I used the 3:00 and 5:00 as positions on a clock to give people a visual.

The sun moves slowly and incrementally with the solstices.

Look at the time-lapse photo in the link.

Thanks! It did catch me off guard this morning and as you said "we don't always notice the subtle changes from day to day".

ive read somewhere that some inuit elders are saying that the sun and the stars 'aren't right'
we are coming to a change in 'ages' (the age of aquarias') this means we'll have a new north star about dec.
this is known procession. the planet wobbles and the north pole will point at each one of the zodiac signs every 2200 years or so. read some graham hancock, he breaks it down pretty good.

I could understand a slight change, but not that drastic
Were you driving in Reverse? LOL
