These figures show the orbits and nodes as well as the positions of the perihelion and aphele of the inner (left) and outer planets (right) as seen from the northern ecliptic pole.  The planets run counterclockwise.  At the beginning of spring the earth is in the picture below.  The blue part of an orbit is north of the ecliptic plane, the purple part south.  Green dot: perihelion.  Red dot: aphelion.
