Star words: heroism, might
Perseus · α Per · mag 1.79 — Culminates around midnight
Cyclamen returns on November 13, paired with Ash Gray (#9FA09E) and the color word "frosted glass." The flower's meanings are reserve and shyness. The cool gray makes the date feel more restrained than its earlier appearance — a winter pot plant seen through a cold window.
Mirfak takes the meridian once more on November 13, and tonight look around it: the star sits at the heart of the Alpha Persei Cluster, a loose scatter of jewels that binoculars turn into a treasure box. Magnitude 1.79; star words heroism and might; highest in the south near midnight. The day's color is Ash Gray (#9FA09E), read as frosted glass. Even a hero, diffused a little, becomes easier to stand beside.
Named for a long, slender body that recalls a willow leaf, the Arctic flounder burrows into northern sandy-mud bottoms, filling out as winter nears, it is said. Its fish words are "willow leaf" and "winter" — a supple form carrying the quiet of preparing for the cold. Its peak season is January and February, with landings beginning to grow from around this time. Today's birth color is Ash Gray (#9FA09E): a frosted-glass hue to set beside a window in winter dress.
