Here's an explanation from Babble.com
The axis of the Earth changes as it wobbles, and thousands of years after the signs of the stars were first determined, they’re no longer aligned, mostly because the North Star is pointing in a different direction (or something super complicated like that, which is better left for people way smarter than myself to explain explain). We’re off a constellation, basically. And there’s one called Ophiuchus that has been around for eons and is finally getting its due.
