I corrected this for my article at https://calgary.rasc.ca/orbits.htm#barycenter using the current standard of having the Vernal Equinox to the right. Also PLEASE NOTE - coloring in the circle representing the size of the Sun infers that the Barycenter is moving around a stationary Sun. This is NOT THE CASE. The Sun is moving around the Barycenter.
