October 4 is guided by Alpherg, eta Piscium, the brightest star of Pisces at magnitude 3.8 — a giant presiding over the autumn constellation of two fishes bound by a single cord. Its star words are 'wellspring' and 'outflow', a star stationed at the very start of the stream. In the deep of night it edges onto the southern meridian. With it comes your birth color, Flame Orange (#EC5415), whose color word is 'in season': the hue of a moment ripened to its peak, perfect only now.
The birthday fish of October 4 is the Skipjack tuna, right at the height of its season. Tataki — the surface barely seared over straw smoke — is a beloved scene of Japanese autumn, echoing the fish words “gale” and “vigor”. Peak season: May and October, with the autumn catch prized for richer fat than the spring run. The birth color of the day is Flame Orange (#EC5415), a hue that literally meets the words “the right hour”, softly lighting tonight's table.
The Kabosu is the birth fruit of Oct 4. A citrus fruit of the season, the Kabosu arrives from Sep and Oct. Its fruit words are "sharpening and accent". Look for it in Sep and Oct. This day's birthday color: Flame Orange (#EC5415). Its color word is "the right hour". A seasonal fruit and a birthday color, sharing one date.
