October History and Symbolism
Discover the history and symbolism of October, from its origins as the 8th month in the Roman calendar to its birthstones and birth flowers.
Origin of October
The name “October” comes from the Latin octo, meaning “eight.” This is because, in the original Roman calendar (traditionally attributed to Romulus, c. 753 BCE), October was the eighth month of a 10-month calendar year that began in March. However, around 713 BCE, King Numa Pompilius made changes to the calendar by adding January and February, expanding it to 12 months. This shifted October to the tenth position, yet its name was never updated to reflect its new place in the year.
October Birthstones
Those born in October have two birthstones: Opal and Tourmaline. Each carries its own symbolism as follows:
- Opal is famed for its play-of-color as its rainbow of colors changes when hit with light. It is also referred to as the Kaleidoscope of the earth. Ancient Romans symbolized it for hope and purity. The Harlequin Opal, with its mosaic-like color patches, is among the rarest and most prized varieties.
- Tourmaline comes in a spectrum of colors but the most popular varieties are pink and green. It symbolizes protection, compassion and balance. Ancient mystics used it to ward off negative energy.
Birth Flowers of October
October is associated with two birth flowers, namely, marigold and cosmos. Marigold symbolizes passion and creativity while Cosmos represents harmony and balance.
October Zodiac Signs
If you were born in October, your zodiac sign is either Libra or Scorpio, depending on your birthdate. Each sign has its own unique set of traits as follows:
- Libra (September 23 – October 22): Libra, symbolized by the “scale”, is an air sign. The scale sign is associated with balance, diplomacy, and social harmony.
- Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Symbolized by the Scorpion, this water sign is ruled by Mars and Pluto. Scorpios are intense, determined, and passionate. They are also fiercely loyal and private.
