Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could tell me why this won't compile. All it does is give me build errors and then doesn't build. Forgive me for how long the code is.
Might be the compiler you are using, using VS2010 Pro it compiled and ran fine for me. Which IDE are you using to write your programs?
EDIT** Also source tags help for posting longer code.

I am using Visual Studio 2010, I don't know why it's not compiling for me.

Perhaps post the first few build errors?

Never mind I got it to work, but I have another issue. I enter my birthday as May 23 and I get no fortune. Also, Some of theme are getting double fortunes which I also don't understand.

Never mind, I figured out what was wrong. It was glaringly obvious. I apologize if I wasted anyone's time.
Why not put a bunch of cout's in there to validate your values so you can see what the program is seeing?

I don't understand what you mean.....
Also, I'm still getting double prophecies and I don't know why.
Example: Enter in June 8 I get
You will find your true love!One day you will be a great leader!
I'm years past doing C but you'll get what I mean. For instance if you put:
Then you know exactly what is being evaluated by your switch statement, rather than just assuming you know. Do the same kind of stuff on the way through the code to work out the logic of what its actually doing, instead of what you think it should be doing.
You can wrap them in #debug type stuff, or just delete/comment them out once its working.
do { cout << "Welcome to the Horoscope program \n"; cout << "Please enter in the month you were born \n"; cin >> day; cout << '\n'; cout << "Now enter the number of the month you were born in \n"; cin >> month; cout << "Entered day: " + day + " and month: " + month + " \n"; switch (month){Then you know exactly what is being evaluated by your switch statement, rather than just assuming you know.

You dont break inside your if statement, try using braces around your else logic to help see what the programs doing.
