Chinese zodiac
get_chinese_zodiacGives the Chinese zodiac animal, element and yin or yang for a birth date or a year, and the current year's animal. A birth date before that year's Lunar New Year belongs to the previous animal year; the answer gives the Lunar New Year date it used. With only a year, it says which animal applies to anyone born before that year's Lunar New Year. It adds the animal's traditional associations and its traditional pairings (the harmonious three, the six-harmony partner and the opposite animal), with links to the animal's page. Pass the person's time zone if you know it so the current year is their own. Without a zone the current year assumes UTC and the answer says so.
