A beloved signpost: hop upward from Mirach to reach the Andromeda Galaxy. It shares the sky of the princess freed from her chains — fitting for star words of deliverance and hope. At midnight it glows red at the southern peak. Your birth color is Amaranth Purple (#89438C), whose color word is silk — a violet of release, soft and strong.
