Why does the axial precession have little effect on the seasons?
The main reason is that the period of the axial precession is in the neighborhood of26,000 years, or roughly around 0.014 degree per year. Even if it had a great effecton anything, the change wouldn't be noticeable within a human lifetime at that rate.But no matter what stage of the precession the Earth is in, the axis is till tilted roughly23.5 degrees from "straight up and down", and THAT's the entire cause of the seasonsand their behavior.
Which is thought to be most responsible for earths ice ages?
Earth's precession
Earths tilt does not stay the same because of its what?
precession
Is the earth experiencing a pole shift right now?
YES!!! It has always had a 'pole shift'. If you look on any sophisticated map , there will be a key indicating true (Axial) North and Magnetic North. The Magnetic North will have an indication on it showing it is increasing/decreasing by so much per year. So the magnetic pole is shifting. Also, the true(axial) north is shifting too. This is because of 'Precession'. This is because the Earth spins on a daily basis, and the axis (Poles) counter spins much more slowly. So the poles are shifting. NB Spin a gyro. Notice ,whilst spinning the gyro appears to 'wobble' , this is precession, and the Earth does exactly the same.
Are seasons caused by the precession of Earth's axis?
Yes they are.

Have the star signs changed?
The dates for the star signs has changed due to the precession of the equinoxes.
When did horoscopes change I was born in 1952 as a Scorpio now I am a Libra When did that change?
For those who use the tropical year, many of the zodiac signs have changed from their original dates due to axial precession.
The gradual wobble that changes the orientation of the Earth's axis in space is called?
"Precession", a cycle that runs roughly 26,000 years.Unless you're doing some pinpoint celestial navigation, or lab-grade measurements in astronomy,you don't notice the effects of precession during the interval of your lifetime.

What is the earth movement but it takes 26000 years what would it is called?
Precession, which in this case refers to a movement of Earth's axis. A full "turn" takes about 26,000 years.
Is motion of earth is oscillatory?
Not exactly.The earth rotates on its axis.It follows an elliptical path around the sun.It's axis display precession (something like a wobble). This might be the phenomenon to which you are referring. For more information please see axial precession in wikipedia.

It is axial.
How the Earth's precession differ from the Earth's rotation?
Precession refers to a gradual change in the direction of Earth's axis of rotation.
