Astronomically the zodiac is significant of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun in the night sky.
The answer will depend on astronomically WHAT or how the days are astronomically significant.
Astronomically they are in opposite quadrants of the zodiac.
The zodiac has remained the same. There are 12 signs used in the traditional western zodiac. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the dates for the zodiac signs have changed slightly in comparison to their traditional tropical dates. Astronomically there are 13 zodiac signs, because the Sun also goes through the constellation of Ophiuchus for a few days between November and December.
It depends on what system of astrology one proposes to use. In the Western (tropical) zodiac the dates for the zodiac do not change; but also do not reflect their sidereal placements which have changed overtime astronomically die to the precession of the equinoxes. If one uses the sidereal zodiac, the dates will change according to the astronomical variation of the dates the Sun moves into different zodiac signs.
Astronomically, there are thirteen, arguably fourteen zodiacal constellations with Ophiuchus joining the classical twelve and Cetus's constellation boundary's corner touching the ecliptic. Astrologically, there are only twelve zodiac signs. Signs and constellations are not the same thing, but they are named after one another.
It is one of the zodiac animals, and is the designated zodiac animal for 2012 (and 2024, 2036, etc.)
The Greek root word of "astronomically" is "astron," which means star.
No, no one's zodiac sign changes. Due to the procession of the equinoxes the Sun astronomically enters the zodiac constellations at slightly differing dates than those stated in Western astrology.

Astro - Greek for 'star'
In astronomy Ophiuchus is one of 13 constellations that cross the ecliptic. Ophiuchus has sometimes been considered the 13th sign of the zodiac because the Sun can be seen to pass through the boundary of the constellation November 30 to December 18, according to the International Astronomical Union. The constellations and the astrological zodiac have only a loose association with each other and reality. The zodiac signs in astrology are a means of dividing the ecliptic into 12 equal parts of 30° each, a quadrant encompassing about the distance the Sun travels in a month. Due to the procession of the equinoxes, the tropical zodiac is less accurate astronomically than the sidereal zodiac, which uses the exact placements of the planets in constellations. But neither really encompasses Ophiuchus as a zodiac sign.
An astronomically large sum.
