The Seasons: (Was: Re: astrological sign)
This relates to a problem I was having determining the season. I think I'll just subtract 10 days from the current quarter to return Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. It's not perfect, but the way to algorithmically determine the seasons is beyond my little, rabbit brain.

Re: astrological sign
Because the Chinese calendar is based on the cycles of the Moon, the
beginning of the New Year can fall anywhere between late January and the
middle of February. In 2003, it comes on February 1st. The festivities begin
22 days prior to the New Year date and continue for 15 days afterward.
