README

Chinese Zodiac returns the zodiac animal, element, and characteristics for any birth date. Accurately accounts for the Chinese lunar calendar - the zodiac year starts on Chinese New Year, not January 1st.

The Chinese Zodiac API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate chinese zodiac functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready chinese zodiac capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
