Get Zodiac sign by Javascript

A quick way to get a zodiac sign by date using a very small function.

There are three options

• With English names (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, etc.)
• With multilingual options (Kozoroh, Vodnář, Pisce, etc.)
• And if you need an image as a string character (♈, ♉, ♊, etc.)

With English names

/**
 * Return zodiac sign name by month and day
 *
 * @param day
 * @param month
 * @return {string} name of zodiac sign
 */
function getZodiacName(day, month) {
    var zodiac = ['', 'Capricorn', 'Aquarius', 'Pisces', 'Aries', 'Taurus', 'Gemini', 'Cancer', 'Leo', 'Virgo', 'Libra', 'Scorpio', 'Sagittarius', 'Capricorn'];
    var last_day = ['', 19, 18, 20, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 21, 22, 21, 20, 19];
    return (day > last_day[month]) ? zodiac[month*1 + 1] : zodiac[month];
}

Use this way

// 15 - October
getZodiacSign(15, 10); // Out: "Libra"

With multilingual options
