In what constellation does the Sun appear on April 5?

HINT: The Sun is approximately crossing the meridian at noon.In what constellation does the Sun appear on April 5?Eugene delporte's remapping of constellations can be found in the Wiki article 'Zodiac' that answers your query. Humans have vivisected, sectioned, distributed these stars into several constellations; like a City's corporation changes the street names, nomenclature like wards, mohallas or what have you. In the traditional Astronomy as it relates to Zodiac, Sun should be in Aries (since April13). I base this fact on Sun's location on the ring of Zodiac/Ecliptic that is unchanged except in the very long term after several cycles of 'precession' (each lasting 25800 years, may be). In short, Solar address (not based on Equator but Ecliptic) as per Calender dates - remains.

I wish someone brought out 'RA/declination' system based on ecliptic rather than equator. But humans can't put up with it as the N.Pole will not be fixed in such a system. It will not be 'never mind/+90掳' but will be 'xy/+66掳.55'; xy based on 'epoch' .In what constellation does the Sun appear on April 5?The Sun was in Pisces on April 5th.
