The equinoxes occur on March 20/21 (spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, fall equinox in the southern hemisphere) and September 22/23 (fall equinox in the northern hemisphere, spring equinox in the southern hemisphere). During an equinox, the Sun passes directly over the equator, which means that at solar noon, the Sun will be directly overhead for someone located on the equator. Therefore, if the date is March 21 and the Sun passes through your zenith at noon, you must be located on the equator.
