Carnation appears again on October 8. In our calendar the flower is the same, but the date's color is different: Rengairo (#B55233), a brick red with the color word "decisiveness." Carnation's hanakotoba of pure love and gratitude take on a firmer tone here — less a soft thank-you, more a promise. A good pairing for a birthday that wants to be taken seriously.
October 8 belongs to Achernar, alpha Eridani, the ninth-brightest star in the sky at magnitude 0.5. Its name means 'the river's end' in Arabic, for it burns at the mouth where the mythic river Eridanus pours into a sea of stars. Its star words are 'attainment' and 'torrent'. At midnight it crowns the southern sky. With it stands your birth color, Rengairo (#B55233), a brick red whose color word is 'resolve': the hue of one who has followed a long current all the way to its end.
Through the autumn sea move great dark bands of the birthday fish of October 8 — the Japanese pilchard. From its way of traveling together come the fish words “school” and “solidarity”. Peak season spans October and November, when the freshest catch shines salt-grilled, simmered, or fried. The birth color of the day is Rengairo (#B55233), a brick red that carries the word “decisiveness” — a fitting shade for a table gathered around one pot.
The Shine Muscat grape (シャインマスカット) is assigned to Oct 8. The Shine Muscat grape is a berry whose peak runs Sep and Oct. Its fruit words are "dazzle and blessing". Look for it in Sep and Oct. The color side of the day is Rengairo (#B55233). Its color word is "decisiveness". A fruit in season and a color of its own — a small way to mark the day.
Our birth flowers are an independently compiled system based on flowering seasons and hanakotoba. Birth stars are assigned by an astronomical rule — the IAU-named star culminating around midnight on that date. Birth fish and fruits are compiled independently by peak season (fish include seafood).
