Unbeknownst to most people, there are more than twelve constellations of the zodiac. Ophiuchus, the thirteenth, rises in the early evening in our late spring skies with the sun moving through it in December. The fourteenth is a product of how the constellation boundaries are drawn. By convention, on March 27 from about 4:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. the sun partially enters the constellation Cetus, the Whale. Only about 10% of the sun's disk nicks the Pisces/Cetus boundary before it fully returns to the realm of Pisces.
Such is our view from Earth...
