If I understand well, here's some code doing what you want (astrological stuffs are coming from this wikipedia article):

<?php
 assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, true);
 assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING, false);
 assert_options(ASSERT_BAIL, true);
 assert_options(ASSERT_QUIET_EVAL, true);

 $astroSign = array('Aries', 'Taurus', 'Gemini', 'Cancer', 'Leo', 
   'Virgo', 'Libra', 'Scorpio', 'Sagittarius', 'Capricorn', 
   'Aquarius', 'Pisces');

 function getSign($date) {
  global $astroSign;
  $selectedDate = new DateTime($date);
  $startDate = new DateTime($selectedDate->format('Y') . '-03-21');
  $index = -1;

  if ($startDate > $selectedDate) {
   $startDate->modify('-1 year');
  }

  while ($selectedDate >= $startDate) {
   $index = ($index + 1) % 12;
   $startDate->modify('+1 month');

   switch ($astroSign[$index]) {
    case 'Cancer':
     $startDate->modify('+2 day');
     break;
    case 'Scorpio':
     $startDate->modify('-1 day');
     break;
    case 'Capricorn':
     $startDate->modify('-2 day');
     break;
   }
  }

  return $astroSign[$index];
 }

 header('Content-type: text/plain');
 assert(getSign('2009-03-21') == 'Aries');
 assert(getSign('2009-04-21') == 'Taurus');
 assert(getSign('2009-05-21') == 'Gemini');
 assert(getSign('2009-06-20') == 'Gemini');
 assert(getSign('2009-01-19') == 'Capricorn');
 assert(getSign('2009-02-19') == 'Aquarius');
 assert(getSign('2009-02-20') == 'Pisces');
 echo "OK\n";
?>

NB: rapidly tested, furthermore, the getSign() function needs some error checking
