For example, the Scorpio constellation, along its length, is about 520 to 600 light years way. So just looking at that constellation on its own, we see it with an internal temporal distortion of nearly a century. It's actually not possibly for us to *see* even its basic internal layout, ever, never mind how it lies in relation to other constellations. The closest constellation is Centaurus which is on average about 7 light years away. There is no way, by simply looking at the night sky, to see the *current* configuration of the stars. You can infer it through some very complex mathematics, but astrology was not founded on such maths, and has never adopted it. The 26,000 year galactic alignment cycle is an error. An understandable error made by people who weren't stupid, but an error nonetheless.
