Failure to cite sources
This Infobox does not site any source or explain it's methodology for calculating dates for the passage of the Sun through the sign. This must be remedied or I will nominate it for deletion. Jc3s5h (talk) 11:21, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Error with Ophiuchus
Generates a Lua error w Ophiuchus if we put in #13. But if we don't put a number in, the template generates a default date range of March 20 – April 19. Could that be fixed? Don't need it to generate the proper dates for Ophiuchus, could just leave that blank, though it would be nice to have the option for manual input. — kwami (talk) 02:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I wrote Module:Zodiac date a long time ago. I don't remember why I didn't issue an error message if no sign number is provided.
 * The module is designed to work with 12 signs, each of which spans 30&deg;, and where the first sign, Aries, spans 0 to 30&deg; of ecliptic longitude. This system has been used by both astrology and astronomy for thousands of years. Other systems exist in some forms of astrology, but are calculated in a much different way, far outside the scope of this module. Also, reliable astronomical reference sources are available to support the calculation used in the module. It's hard to find a source about astrology that is reliable.
