horoscope-nuget's Issues

Add extension method option

Select type of issue

• Bug
• Feature request

If it's a feature request...

Please explain your request and why you'd like to see it in this service.
Currently to use the library we need to call the Zodiac class directly. C# enables us to use extension methods. This could make us simply call .GetZodiacSign() from a DateTime instance and have the code simpler and shorter.

// now
Zodiac.GetZodiacSignForDate(dateTime);

// suggested
dateTime.GetZodiacSign();

I could implement it :)

Include the hacktoberfest tag so PRs on this can count for the event! I actually enjoy this repo and would like to add a new feature to it, specially if it would count as a contribution for Hacktoberfest :)
