Use inputdlg() to get the month and day numbers from the user. The help has examples. Then use a bunch of if statements to determine which zodiac sign to assign, for example

DateNumber = datenum(2012,M,D); % Get serial date number
if DateNumber .....

and so on

or use a case structure

It can be done without "if" or "case", by using histc() to find the bin.
