The zodiac constallations don't even line up with their original dates anymore, for exactly the kind of reasons you described: the universe and our position in it are not stationary.
This website has a chart for the updated dates (note also that they had to add another zodiac sign because of parallax or something)
And it's even more complicated than that.
Some systems kept things aligned with the people, some kept things aligned with the stars. Then there's tropical vs sidereal. And even more complexity to further confound.
And it's hilarious to watch people try to discredit all astrology with cherry picked argument from ignorance fallacies. Can't get there from here.
Like when the misalignment with constellations are cited as reason to throw out all astrology as utter bunk, one can retort "so the aspects are still aligned?". XD
