The Aztecs, originally a nomadic tribe, migrated to the area around present-day Mexico City in the early 14th century due to a prophecy that guided them to a location where they would see an eagle perched on a cactus, devouring a serpent. This vision was realized on an island in Lake Texcoco, where they established Tenochtitlán. The site's strategic location provided access to water, fertile land for agriculture, and trade routes, enabling the Aztecs to build a powerful and thriving civilization.

Where did Aztecs move after they left central Mexico and why?

They didn't. They migrated from the US southwest, from a mythical place known as Aztlan, and migrated southward into present-day Mexico City. It is believed a civil war or another such conflict resulted in several factions from the original Aztecs to split and become the Mexica. Hence the name of their city: Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
