SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Event::Zodiac qw(zodiac_date_name zodiac_date_symbol zodiac_astro_name zodiac_astro_symbol);
my $dt = DateTime->new(
year => 1979,
month => 3,
day => 27,
);
print zodiac_date_name($dt);
print zodiac_astro_symbol($dt);
Returns the latin zodiac name or alternatively the unicode zodiac symbol
for the given date. The zodiac may be calculated using either fixed
dates or using the longitude/position of the sun.
The module exports no symbols by default. All used functions must be
requested in the use statement.
All methods return undef on failiure.
DESCRIPTION
zodiac_date_name
$name = zodiac_date_name($dt);
Latin zodiac name: aries, taurus, gemini, ... Fixed dates.
zodiac_date_symbol
$symbol = zodiac_date_symbol($dt);
Unicode zodiac symbol positions U+2648 to U+2653 Fixed dates.
zodiac_astro_name
$name = zodiac_astro_name($dt);
Latin zodiac name: aries, taurus, gemini, ... Calculated from the
longitude/position of the sun.
zodiac_astro_symbol
$symbol = zodiac_astro_symbol($dt);
Unicode zodiac symbol positions U+2648 to U+2653 Calculated from the
longitude/position of the sun.
zodiac_date
Simply computes the zodiac from the date and returns a hash with the
keys name, symbol, start and end.
Used internally by "zodiac_date_name" and "zodiac_date_symbol"
zodiac_astro
Computes the zodiac from the position of the sun and returns a hash with
the keys name, symbol, start and end. The keys start and end should be
ignored since they are used for the "zodiac_date" function.
May differ from the results of "zodiac_date" depending on the solar year
(leap year ect).
See DateTime::Util::Astro::Sun for notes on accuracy. If computed
accurately enough this module should be also able to get the correct
zodiac for the exact time of birth.
Used internally by "zodiac_astro_name" and "zodiac_astro_symbol"
DISCLAIMER
The author of this module regads astrology as being a pseudoscience and
superstition. I wrote this module for my job. I was young, foolish and I
needed the money.
TODO
The "zodiac_astro_horoscope" and "zodiac_date_horoscope" functions have
not yet been implemented ;-)
