use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

// create from iso date
$zodiac = Calculator::make('1977-06-17');
$name = $zodiac->name(); // gemini
$name = (string) $zodiac; // get name by casting to string

Localized Title

public Zodiac::localized(?string $locale = null): string

Return the localized title of the current zodiac in the given locale. The locale parameter is optional, by default the english language is returned.

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

// create from iso date
$zodiac = Calculator::make('1977-06-17');
$name = $zodiac->localized('fr'); // Gémeaux

HTML Representation

public Zodiac::html(): string

Returns the HTML UTF-8 symbol code representing an icon of the current zodiac sign.
