Star words: prophecy, twin bond

Setsubun-so closes March on the 31st, paired with Straw (#ECE093) and the color word a finder's eye. Smile and grace remain its hanakotoba, and February to March is its peak, which makes this the last date on which it can appear before the season moves on. A dry, pale yellow for a small woodland flower quietly going over.
March closes with Porrima, named for the Roman goddess of prophecy and childbirth. This 3.44-magnitude star glimmers at the waist of Virgo, and on the 31st it is your birth star, with the star words prophecy and twin bond. As the date turns it rises to the summit of the southern sky. Beside it, Straw (#ECE093), whose color word is an eye that finds things. A prophetic star beside the color of wheat-straw. The future ripens not by decree but softly, like an ear of grain.
