Great burnet gives October 2 its flower. Small crimson heads gather at the top of slender stems, and the plant has been used in tea ceremonies for its restrained beauty. Hanakotoba meanings are change and adoration. The birthday color is Bengarairo (#8F2E14), a deep red-brown with the color word "an ember." The flower and the color both suggest something still burning quietly at the end of the season.
For those born on October 2, the birthday star is Mirach, beta of Andromeda, a red giant of magnitude 2.

Around midnight Mirach reaches the meridian, due south. Beside it stands your birth color, Bengarairo (#8F2E14), an iron-oxide red whose color word is 'seed fire' — the ember kept alive to light tomorrow's flame.
The birthday fish of October 2 is the Chum salmon. Turning home from the sea toward the river of its birth, it embodies the fish words “vitality” and “homecoming”.
