The Date-o-matic is a small set of expansions upon {{#time}} parser function. It is made up by three parts:

1. {{date-o-matic}}. Analogous to {{#time}}, with two codes are added to the format string:
   • % gives the day in ordinal number. {{date-o-matic|F %, Y}} yields October 24th, 2024.
   • ^ gives the day in ordinal number, with the ordinal suffix superscripted. {{date-o-matic|F ^, Y}} yields October 24^th, 2024.
   • Currently, there is no escape implementations. Use {{#time}} if these characters must be used.
2. {{date-o-matic/horoscope}}. Return the horoscope sign for the provided date.
3. {{date-o-matic/fromnow}}. Return the length of time from now to the provided time.
