I'm not sure that I understand what information you want. <i>By definition</i>, the position of the Sun at the vernal equinox is ecliptic latitude 0.000 (epoch of date).

[The following bit needs to be checked and verified/confirmed -- Dave? Frank? anyone?]
For the date in question, this would place the Sun in Virgo, very close to the boundary with Leo (IAU definitions of constellation boundaries). Or, if you prefer, as near as dammit 5 deg from <i>ups Leonis</i> in the direction of <i>omega Virginis</i>.

Is the answer you wanted here?</HTML>
