constellations

Are the constellations out of place or is it just me? I've noticed this over the past few months.

Out of place? I am not sure what you mean. The wrong constellations at certain times of year? Constellations relative to each other? The stars within constellations?

As far as I have noticed, nothing is amiss. Though stars are moving relative to each other, the change much too slow to be noticeable in a human lifetime.

Um... did you move from the Norther hemisphere to the Southern hemisphere? If so... the constellations will seem to be a 'little' different.
