Today I am celebrating all of the October birthday’s in my family. Both Libra and Scorpio . As my brother in law is the first of the month and my Mother in law at the end . We are going to have a small get together this afternoon on the patio to enjoy the weather.
What makes October birthday special?
October’s birthstone is an opal, which is associated with good luck.
2. Your October baby’s flower is marigold, which represents fierce love.
3. Babies born in October are either a Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) or a Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21). Libras are charming, lovable, fair and sincere. Scorpios are passionate, loyal and brave.
Your October baby might be presidential material.
Could your baby become the next POTUS? More U.S. presidents have been born in October than any other month!
