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());
