December 18 burns red at the hunter's shoulder: Betelgeuse, a red supergiant of magnitude 0.45, hundreds of times the Sun's diameter, its name a medieval corruption of 'the giant's hand.' Embrace and ardor are its star words, and around midnight it pulses at its highest in the south. The day's color is Brown Gold (#B4766D), whose word is sunlight. A burning star, a sunlit brown-gold: passion exists, here, in order to enfold.
The birthday fish of December 18 is the Grey mullet. Its fish words are "journey" and "fortitude". A traveler passing between rivers and the sea, and a fish of step-by-step promotion in Japan, changing its name as it grows, it endures the cold all along its long way, at its peak from December into January. The color of the day is Brown Gold (#B4766D). May a touch of winter sun keep warm company beside a long journey.
