Lily returns on September 17. The birthday color is Asaginezu (#7DBB7D), with the color word "new leaves." Purity and love for a hundred years are still the hanakotoba meanings, and July through September is still its peak. The pale green is a quiet partner for a flower usually read in white or pink, and it makes the open blooms look younger.
If the sky had a heartbeat, it might be Algenib, Gamma Pegasi — September 17's star, the southeastern corner of the Great Square. Its name is Arabic for 'the flank,' and it truly pulses: a Beta Cephei variable, swelling and dimming within a few hours. Its star words are pulse and heartbeat. At midnight it beats blue-white at the southern summit. Your birth color is Asaginezu (#7DBB7D), a soft onion green, whose color word is young leaves — calm green around a pounding heart.
September 17's birth fish is the Ayu sweetfish, the stream-run fish of young-grass fragrance. Fish words: “purity” and “summer days”. Salt-grilled, it has long been a sign of summer's end. Peak season: July and August; September carries its last echoes. The birth color of the day is Asaginezu (#7DBB7D), a new-leaf green. Weigh the river's season into the day's table.
If you were born on Sep 17, your birth fruit is the Nijisseiki pear. The Nijisseiki pear is a pome fruit whose peak runs Sep and Oct. Fruit words attach "clarity and stillness" to the Nijisseiki pear. It is in season Sep and Oct. The color side of the day is Asaginezu (#7DBB7D). The color word here is "new leaves". Pair the season's fruit with the day's color for a small celebration.
