Zodiac Name

public SignInterface::name(): string

Return the english name of the current zodiac sign. It's possible to cast the zodiac object to a string type to get the same result. If you want an localized name you can use the localize() method first.

Example

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

// create from iso date
$zodiac = Calculator::fromString('1977-06-17');
$name = $zodiac->name(); // "gemini"
$name = (string) $zodiac; // "gemini"

Localized Title

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

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

Example

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

// calculate zodiac sign
$zodiac = Calculator::fromString('1977-06-17');
$name = $zodiac->localize('fr')–>name(); // Gémeaux

HTML Representation

public SignInterface::html(): string

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

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

// create zodiac sign from date
$zodiac = Calculator::fromString('1977-06-17');
$name = $zodiac->html(); // ♊

Zodiac Sign Compatibility

public SignInterface::compatibility(ZodiacInterface $sign): float

Some say said that zodiac signs have a certain type astrological compatibility with each other. While some combinations are said to be compatible, others not so much (if you believe in it).

This method lets you explore this astrological compatibility by comparing the current instance to another sign.

The compatibility factor is returned as a float value of 0-1, with a higher value representing more compatibility.

Example

use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator;

$gemini = Calculator::fromString('1997-06-17'); // Intervention\Zodiac\Zodiacs\Gemini
$virgo = Calculator::fromString('2000-09-10'); // Intervention\Zodiac\Zodiacs\Virgo

$factor = $gemini->compatibility($virgo);
