Meaning: unchanging love, immortality

Globe amaranth returns on October 22, paired with Sekibaniro (#585C5B) and the color word "neutrality." The flower still means unchanging love and immortality, but the color is a quiet charcoal gray. It is a reminder that constancy does not have to be loud — sometimes it looks like a small, dry flower that keeps its shape.
October 22 belongs to Alrescha, alpha Piscium, whose name is Arabic for 'the cord' — it marks the knot binding the tails of the two fishes. Its 3.8-magnitude glow is the mingled light of two close companions: a bond turned into light itself. Its star words are 'binding cord' and 'tie'. Late at night it rises to the heights of the meridian. Beside it rests your birth color, Sekibaniro (#585C5B), a slate gray whose color word is 'neutrality': the hue of the knot, leaning to neither side.
Autumn blue-fish dishes begin to join the menu. The birthday fish of October 22 is the Inshore amberjack, a young stage of the yellowtail and one of the fish said to change its name as it grows — a “career fish”. Its words: “progress” and “ripening”. Peak season is October, and its measured richness stands out as sashimi or in a quick hot-pot dip. The birth color of the day is Sekibaniro (#585C5B), a settled neutral tone that quietly acknowledges each step of the way.
Oct 22 belongs to the Pomegranate (ザクロ). It is a berry at its best around Oct. The fruit words for this date read "many wishes and fruition". Oct is its season. On this date, the birthday color is Sekibaniro (#585C5B). The color word here is "neutrality". A seasonal fruit and a birthday color, sharing one date.
