The star of October 3 is Ruchbah, delta Cassiopeiae, part of the famous W that maps the proud queen of myth. Its name derives from the Arabic for 'knee', marking the leg of the seated Cassiopeia, whose boasting cost her daughter dearly. Its star words are 'humility' and 'sturdiness' — a throne that knows how to bend. At midnight it crosses the meridian overhead. With it comes your birth color, Carrot Orange (#ED6D35), whose color word is 'sunpatch': warmth that gathers people on cold days.
The birthday fish of October 3 is the Japanese horse mackerel, one of the most familiar fish on Japan's home tables — hence the fish words “everyday hero” and “silver”. Peak seasons come in June and October, when it works in nearly any dish: tataki, dried, or fried.
