Cherry blossom returns on March 28, paired with Pale Aqua (#A7D3CF) and the color word a spring. Purity and spiritual beauty remain its hanakotoba, and March to April remains its peak. The color is a light, slightly green blue, and it reads as water rather than sky: an unusual companion for a pink flower, and a cooling one at the end of its season.
Algorab is simply the Arabic word for the raven, and this 2.94-magnitude star holds one corner of Corvus's tilted square. A small telescope reveals a faint companion leaning close. It is the birth star of March 28, with the star words raven wit and keen eye. As the date turns it fixes a sharp gaze from the top of the southern sky. Beside it, Pale Aqua (#A7D3CF), whose color word is spring water. A sharp-eyed bird beside clear water — may the eye that looks at things stay as unclouded.
From the sea leaning toward spring, the birthday fish of March 28 is the Cockle. Its name comes from the opened shell said to resemble a bird's wings, and its red flesh has long brightened spring tables as sushi and sashimi. Its fish words are “departure” and “color”. The peak month is April. The day's birth color is Pale Aqua (#A7D3CF). With a watery pale blue like a spring well, add color to a season of departures — and to the day's table.
The birth fruit for Mar 28 is the Grapefruit (グレープフルーツ). Market stalls fill with this citrus fruit around Jan and Feb and Mar. Fruit words attach "freshness and morning" to the Grapefruit. It is in season Jan and Feb and Mar. Its date also carries the birthday color Pale Aqua (#A7D3CF). The color word here is "a spring". The day pairs the season's fruit with its own color.
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).
