Explanation / Answer

Hi buddy, you didn't mention the language in which the program has to be written. I preferred C++. Comments are added for better understanding

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   // your code goes here
   string db ;
   cin >> db;
   int date=0,i=0,month=0;
   //This loop traveres till '/' is encountered. It converts month part into number
   for( i=0;db[i]!='/';i++){
   //db[i]-48 converts character to a number. EG: '3' (character) will be converted to 3 (int).
   month = 10*month+(db[i]-48);
   }
   if(month>12){
   cout<< "Invalid month";
   return 0;
   }
   //This loop converts date String into date number
   for(int j=i+1;j<db.length();j++){
   date = 10*date+(db[j]-48);
   }
   string sign;
   if(month==3){
   if(date<=20){
   sign = "Pisces";
   }
   if(date>=21){
   sign = "Aries";
   }
   }
   if(month==4){
   if(date<=19){
   sign = "Aries";
   }
   if(date>=20){
   sign = "Taurus";
   }
   }
   if(month==5){
   if(date<=20){
   sign = "Taurus";
   }
   if(date>=21){
   sign = "Gemini";
   }
   }
   if(month==6){
   if(date<=20){
   sign = "Gemini";
   }
   if(date>=21){
   sign = "Cancer";
   }
   }
   if(month==7){
   if(date<=22){
   sign = "Cancer";
   }
   if(date>=23){
   sign = "Leo";
   }
   }
   if(month==8){
   if(date<=22){
   sign = "Leo";
   }
   if(date>=23){
   sign = "Virgo";
   }
   }
   if(month==9){
   if(date<=22){
   sign = "Virgo";
   }
   if(date>=23){
   sign = "Libra";
   }
   }
   if(month==10){
   if(date<=22){
   sign = "Libra";
   }
   if(date>=23){
   sign = "Scorpio";
   }
   }
   if(month==11){
   if(date<=21){
   sign = "Scorpio";
   }
   if(date>=22){
   sign = "Sagittarius";
   }
   }
   if(month==12){
   if(date<=21){
   sign = "Sagittarius";
   }
   if(date>=22){
   sign = "Capricorn";
   }
   }
   if(month==1){
   if(date<=19){
   sign = "Capricorn";
   }
   if(date>=20){
   sign = "Aquarius";
   }
   }
   if(month==2){
   if(date<=18){
   sign = "Aquarius";
   }
   if(date>=19){
   sign = "Pisces";
   }
   }
  
   cout << sign;
   return 0;
}
