I have never been a huge Astrology follower, but after a few requests for an Astrology Widget, I have decided to troll the Internet and find something my viewers may find interesting.
The interesting thing is there are many Astrology Widgets available, but very few are creative. Maybe an opportunity for developers?
My first stop is almost always widgetbox.com. You can reply on those guys to always have something related onhand. Not always the best, but almost always something you can use. Here is a list if Widget Boxes Astrology widgets.
I did find a few which are quite easy to implement, but one in particular which is a bit scarey if you’re planning for the long term placement on your page. I say a bit scarey, because the fine print on this site says "Terms: Only one Moon Phase Plugin per webpage. Widget reserves the right to withdraw this free service at any time without notification."
They also only allow one Widget per page.
That sucks! I’ve never liked rules, and this one really stinks, but it is a pretty cool idea.
Oh well, it’s free for now and they will not allow me to display but one astrology Widget per page and I have chosen the moon phase Widget.
I guess I liked the variety of what they offer more than anything:
 Planetary Hour |
Calculates the planetary hour for 4000 locations worldwide. Displays in text or image format. |
| Moon Position |
Calculates the position of the moon and displays it in either text or image format. |
| Moon Phase |
Calculates the phase of the moon and displays the moon’s image with the named phase underneath. |
| Instant Biorhythms |
Calculates and returns an image of the users biorhythms cycle upon DOB submission. Requires the user to have the Flash 6 browser plugin. |
