The calculator class works as a starting point to transform different types of dates into zodiac objects.

Instantiation

From Scalar Dates

The calculator class can read dates from integer types (unix timestamp) as well as text strings, which can represent a relative time (last monday, tomorrow, last day of next month), an absolute time (first day of June 1983, 2011-11-11) or an unix timestamp as string.

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

// create from iso date
$zodiac = Calculator::zodiac('1992-03-19');

// create from relative date
$zodiac = Calculator::zodiac('first day of June 2008');

// create from unix timestamp integer
$zodiac = Calculator::zodiac(1641719287);

From Objects

You can also pass date objects (DateTime or Carbon) to instantiate new zodiac objects.

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;
use Carbon\Carbon;

// create from datetime objects
$zodiac = Calculator::zodiac(new DateTime('1977-03-15'));

// create from carbon objects
$zodiac = Calculator::zodiac(Carbon::yesterday());
