MARIGOLD: With its golden blossoms that seem to ignite with an inner fire, the marigold represents the warmth of compassion, the vitality of good cheer and the protective power of positive energy. October babies, you are the sunshine alchemists, transmuting negativity and despair into optimism and hope. Just as marigolds have long been used to ward off pests and disease, your uplifting presence repels lower energies.

COSMOS: Elegant and undemanding, the cosmos flower mirrors the essence of order, harmony and the importance of simply being. Those born in October are the Zen masters and minimalists, modeling how to find contentment in the here and now. Your graceful acceptance of what is serves as a counterbalance to the chaos of the world. Like a cosmos flower swaying in the breeze, you teach us the peace of living in the present.
