I want to call Intent in a static parameterized method and wants to start new activity from there. I'm using a mathod call named as zodiacSign in my MainActivity with two parameters, it works and throw a call to another activity HoroscopeFinder. During its working I want to open a new activity form HoroscopeFinder. If someone knows please help. my code is given below:

MainActivity Code

 dateSetListener=new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener(){
        @Override
        public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {

            //code
            month=month+1;
            String date= dayOfMonth+"/"+month+"/"+year;
            datePicker.setText(date);
            //from here we can get day and month
            String getDay= String.valueOf(dayOfMonth);
            getDayInt=Integer.parseInt(getDay);
            String getMonth= String.valueOf(month);
            getMonthInt=Integer.parseInt(getMonth);
            //method call for deduct sign using DOB
            zodiacSign(getDayInt, getMonthInt);}

HoroscopeFinder class code

public class HoroscopeFinder {

static String astroSign="";

You can pass an Activity to zodiacSign so it can construct and start the intent:

public static void zodiacSign(int day, int month, Activity activity)
{
    if (...) {

        ...

        Intent intent=new Intent(activity, AriesActivity.class);
        activity.startActivity(intent);
    }
}

Then, back in your MainActivity class:

...
zodiacSign(getDayInt, getMonthInt, MainActivity.this);

Update your zodiacSign method as 

   ........
   ........
   public static void zodiacSign(int day, int month, Context c)
   {
    if (...) {
        ....
        ...

        Intent intent=new Intent(c, AriesActivity.class);
        c.startActivity(intent);
       }
    }

And then in MainActivity pass context to your zodiacSign method as

... zodiacSign(getDayInt, getMonthInt, MainActivity.this); // this context will help you there to start a new activity
