November

The first day of November is "All Saints Day" in Great Britain and also the end of the Mexican "Dia de los Muertos" celebrations.

In history in England we celebrate Guy Fawkes or Bonfire Night, remembering when a plot to blow up the opening of parliament was foiled, the 17th was the ascension of Elizabeth Tudor in 1558, on the death of her sister Mary.

On the 11th is Remembrance Day, when we give tribute to those who died in combat. Although the date is the anniversary of the end of the 1914 - 1918 war, we now commemorate those who have fallen in all the wars since.

The zodiac sign is Scorpio the Scorpion (23rd October - 21st November), the planet of Scorpio is Mars, the element water and the colour black, deep red, echoed in the Pantone^® colour for November as Raspberry Wine.
