Chrysanthemum is the November 8 flower. In Japan it is the classic autumn bloom, displayed at festivals and associated with nobility and a long life. The birthday color is Nasturtium Orange (#F5811E), a vivid orange with the color word "a hearth." The flower and the color both carry a sense of ceremony and warmth.
November 8 carries the most theatrical star of the season: Algol in Perseus, the Demon Star, an eclipsing binary that fades for a few hours every 2.87 days — the winking head of Medusa in the hero's hand. Transformation and renewal are its star words, and around midnight it stands highest in the south. Nasturtium Orange (#F5811E), the day's color, is read as a hearth fire. A star that dares to dim beside a flame that simply burns: the pairing suits a night of change.
The season now suits the words "winter run." The darkbanded rockfish (menuke), arriving from the deep of northern seas, is said to take its name from the custom of removing the bone above its eye. Its fish words are "molting" and "renewal" — a walk of casting off the old to become new. Its rich savor deepens in salt-grilled dishes, with the peak in December and January. Today's birth color is Nasturtium Orange (#F5811E), a hearth-fire shade warming a table in a changing season.
The Persimmon (柿) is assigned to Nov 8. A berry of the season, the Persimmon arrives from Oct and Nov. In fruit words, it stands for happiness and autumn harvest. Peak season: Oct and Nov. This day's birthday color: Nasturtium Orange (#F5811E). Its color word is "a hearth". A quiet, seasonal note for a birthday table.
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).
