Query

With respect to the Age of Pisces, why does this article take for granted the modern astronomical borders of the constellations, which are arbitrary straight great-circle lines drawn for astronomers' convenience (so that every part of the sky will formally belong to some constellation), without necessarily having any deep historical relevance? Very small differences in the reckoning of the edges of the Zodiacal constellations will result in very large differences in the reckoning of the beginning and end of the Age of Pisces, since 1/360 of a precessional cycle is over 70 years.
