Code Example

Zodiac Calculator Class

You can use the Calculator class to create zodiac objects from any type of date.

// get zodiac from a date
$zodiac = (string) Zodiac::make('1980-09-15'); // virgo

// make method takes mixed formats
$zodiac = (string) Zodiac::make('first day of June 2008'); // gemini

// even DateTime objects
$zodiac = (string) Zodiac::make(new DateTime('1977-03-15')); // pesces

Zodiac Class

The Zodiac Calculator class always returns zodiac objects, which come with the following handy methods.

// make zodiac from a date
$zodiac = Zodiac::make('1980-09-15');

echo $zodiac->name(); // virgo

echo $zodiac->html(); // &#9805;

echo $zodiac->localized(); // Jungfrau

if ($zodiac instanceof Intervention\Zodiac\Zodiacs\Virgo) {
    # my zodiac sign is virgo ...
}

Eloquent Model Trait

By including Intervention\Zodiac\EloquentZodiacTrait your Eloquent Model gets a new zodiac attribute, which is created based on the birthday attribute of the current model and returns a zodiac object.

// include trait
class User extends Model
{
    use \Intervention\Zodiac\EloquentZodiacTrait;
}

// retrieve zodiac attribute
$user = App\User::create(['birthday' => '1980-03-15']);
$zodiac = $user->zodiac // Intervention\Zodiac\Zodiacs\Pisces
