Sagittarius Season: Zodiac Traits, Birthstone & Gift Guide

Every year from November 22 to December 21, the sun moves through Sagittarius, the zodiac's traveler and big-picture thinker. It's the season of Thanksgiving tables, holiday plans, and the longest nights of the year, which suits a sign that always has its eyes on the horizon. Whether you're a Sagittarius yourself or shopping for one, this guide covers what makes the sign tick and how to find a gift or card that actually lands.

Sagittarius is a fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth, luck, and expansion. Its symbol is the archer, often drawn as a centaur with a bow, always aiming somewhere farther than where it stands. Sagittarians are often described as adventurous, optimistic, honest, and philosophical, the kind of people who turn a quick errand into a road trip and a casual chat into a conversation about the meaning of life. That same honesty can also show up as a habit of saying exactly what they think, sometimes before anyone asked.

😄 Fun fact: Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, which explains why their travel plans never come in a small size.

Ways to celebrate Sagittarius season:

  • Plan a day trip somewhere new, or start a travel journal for the adventures still ahead
  • Pick up a big ideas book, this sign loves a question with no easy answer
  • Get outside for a hike, a stargazing night, or anything with open sky and room to roam

Sagittarius's traditional zodiac stone is turquoise, with tanzanite as a popular alternate. Turquoise has long been associated with protection and good fortune, and for centuries travelers carried it for safe journeys, a perfect fit for the zodiac's wanderer. Tanzanite is a newer gem, found in only one place on Earth, near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Here's a fun overlap: turquoise and tanzanite are also December's birthstones, so a Sagittarius born in December gets a perfect double match.

Let's celebrate it: a few gift and card ideas for the Sagittarius in your life.

😄 Fun fact: The brightest stars of Sagittarius form a shape known as the Teapot, and its spout points straight toward the center of the Milky Way. The brightest star of all, Kaus Australis, sits at the bottom corner of the pot.

Shopping for a December Sagittarius? Holiday mail gets slow, so order gifts and mail cards at least a week ahead. For ideas matched to the exact date, birthstone, and birth flower, check our full Birthday Gift Finder.

Whether it's a small gift, a thoughtful card, or a brand new adventure, Sagittarius season rewards anything that opens a door to somewhere new.

November 3 Celebrations: National Sandwich Day & Cliché Day

November 3 is a day for two things we lean on all the time without thinking twice: the sandwich, the most reliable lunch ever invented, and the cliché, the most reliable phrase ever repeated. One fills you up, the other fills the silence, and both have surprisingly good backstories.



National Sandwich Day

National Sandwich Day falls on November 3, the birthday of John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, born in 1718. As the popular story goes, the Earl asked for meat tucked between two slices of bread so he could keep playing cards, or keep working, without stopping for a proper meal. The first known written use of the word "sandwich" in its food sense comes from the historian Edward Gibbon, who mentioned men eating "a bit of cold meat, or a Sandwich" in his journal on November 24, 1762. People had been putting food between bread long before that, of course, but the Earl is the one whose name stuck.

😄 Fun fact: The family still has skin in the game: the 11th Earl of Sandwich and his son co-founded a restaurant chain called Earl of Sandwich in 2004, which means the sandwich business has technically been in the family for over 260 years.

Ways to celebrate:

  • Build the sandwich of your dreams and give it a name worthy of an earl.
  • Try a sandwich from another country, like a Cuban, a bánh mì or a torta.
  • Treat a coworker to lunch, since sandwiches always taste better when someone else made them.

Cliché Day

Cliché Day is a tongue-in-cheek holiday on November 3 that invites you to notice, enjoy, or gently retire the phrases we all use too often. Nobody knows exactly who started it, which feels fitting for a day about sayings with no clear owner. The word itself comes from French printing. A cliché was a metal printing plate used to reproduce the same text or image over and over, and the name is said to imitate the clicking sound of the mold striking the metal. English borrowed the printing term in the 1800s, and by 1888 it had taken on the meaning we use today: a phrase repeated so often it has lost its spark.

😄 Fun fact: Calling today's pairing "the best thing since sliced bread" would be a cliché about a sandwich, and sliced bread was not even sold until 1928, so the saying is younger than your grandma's favorite recipe.

Ways to celebrate:

  • Write a short story using as many clichés as you can, then read it out loud.
  • Try the opposite challenge and go a whole day without a single cliché.
  • Play cliché bingo during your next meeting and see who wins first.

What is your go-to sandwich, and which cliché do you catch yourself saying way too often? Tell us in the comments.

At the end of the day, and yes, that is a cliché, a good sandwich and a well-worn phrase both get the job done.

2 de noviembre. Celebraciones: Día de Muertos y Día Nacional de los Huevos Rellenos

El 2 de noviembre pone dos mesas muy distintas. Una es la ofrenda, llena de cempasúchil y velas, preparada para los seres queridos que recordamos con alegría y no con tristeza. La otra es una charola de huevos rellenos, esa botana que siempre se acaba primero en cualquier convivio. Ánimos diferentes, la misma idea: reunir a la gente alrededor de algo bueno.

Ofrenda de Día de Muertos con cempasúchil, velas y pan de muerto junto a una charola de huevos rellenos con pimentón, para las celebraciones del 2 de noviembre


Día de Muertos

El Día de Muertos es una tradición mexicana que se celebra el 1 y 2 de noviembre y que une creencias indígenas con las costumbres católicas del Día de Todos los Santos y el Día de los Fieles Difuntos. El 1 de noviembre se dedica a los niños que ya partieron, y el 2 de noviembre es el día principal, cuando las familias honran a los adultos. Casas y panteones se llenan de ofrendas con fotos, velas, la comida favorita de cada difunto, pan de muerto y flores de cempasúchil, cuyo color y aroma, según la tradición, guían a las almas de regreso a casa. La palabra cempasúchil viene del náhuatl cempoalxóchitl, que significa "flor de 20 pétalos". En 2008, la UNESCO inscribió esta celebración en su lista del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad.

😄 Dato curioso: El gran desfile de Día de Muertos de la Ciudad de México empezó apenas en 2016, después de que una película de James Bond abriera con un desfile que todavía no existía, así que la ciudad decidió hacerlo realidad.

Formas de celebrar:

  • Pon una ofrenda pequeña con una foto, una vela, unas flores de cempasúchil y el antojo favorito de alguien a quien extrañas.
  • Compra pan de muerto en una panadería mexicana de tu zona y compártelo con tu familia o tus compañeros de trabajo.
  • Cuenta en la cena tu anécdota favorita de un ser querido, entre más chistosa, mejor.

Día Nacional de los Huevos Rellenos

Los huevos rellenos tienen mucha más historia que la mayoría de las botanas de fiesta. En la antigua Roma, los cocineros hervían huevos y los sazonaban con salsas picantes para servirlos como primer tiempo. Versiones más parecidas a las de hoy aparecieron en Andalucía, en lo que hoy es España, alrededor del siglo XIII. En inglés se llaman "deviled eggs", porque la palabra "devil" se usaba en la cocina para platillos picantes o muy sazonados, y apareció impresa por primera vez en Gran Bretaña en 1786. El libro de cocina de Fannie Farmer de 1896 fue de los primeros en sugerir mayonesa para el relleno, y después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se volvieron un clásico de días de campo y reuniones en Estados Unidos.

😄 Dato curioso: En algunas comidas de iglesia del sur y el medio oeste de Estados Unidos les dicen "huevos rellenos" o "huevos aderezados" en lugar de "deviled eggs", para que nadie tenga que mencionar al diablo junto al bufé.

Formas de celebrar:

  • Prepara la receta clásica: yemas machacadas, mayonesa, un poco de mostaza y una pizca de pimentón.
  • Dales un toque mexicano con chile en polvo y limón, jalapeño picado o tocino crujiente.
  • Lleva una charola a la oficina y mira qué tan rápido desaparece.

Ya sea que hoy recuerdes a alguien especial o simplemente disfrutes una buena botana, es un día hecho para estar en buena compañía.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿El Día de Muertos es el 1 o el 2 de noviembre?

Los dos. El 1 de noviembre se recuerda a los niños que partieron, y el 2 de noviembre es el día principal, dedicado a los adultos y antepasados.

¿El Día de Muertos es lo mismo que Halloween?

No. Caen en fechas cercanas, pero el Día de Muertos es una tradición mexicana propia para recordar y celebrar a los seres queridos, con raíces indígenas y católicas.

¿Por qué en inglés se llaman "deviled eggs"?

En el siglo XVIII, "devil" se volvió un término de cocina para platillos picantes o muy sazonados. Su primera aparición impresa conocida fue en Gran Bretaña en 1786.

¿Cuándo es el Día Nacional de los Huevos Rellenos?

Se celebra cada año el 2 de noviembre.

¿Y si hoy es mi cumpleaños?

¡Feliz cumpleaños! Los nacidos el 2 de noviembre son Escorpio, sus piedras de nacimiento son el topacio y el citrino, y su flor de nacimiento es el crisantemo. Encuentra ideas de regalo según tu fecha en nuestro Birthday Gift Finder.

Otras celebraciones del 2 de noviembre

Día de los Fieles Difuntos 🕯️ Hoy también es el Día de los Fieles Difuntos, cuando muchos católicos en el mundo recuerdan a quienes ya partieron. Las familias visitan los panteones, encienden velas y rezan, y en México este día se funde de forma natural con el Día de Muertos.

Día de Buscar Círculos ⭕ Este día te invita a fijarte en los círculos que tienes enfrente todo el tiempo: relojes, tazas, llantas, botones y la luna. Nuestro ejemplo favorito sigue siendo la pizza, un círculo cortado en triángulos que llega en una caja cuadrada.

Día Nacional de Ohio 🌰 Este día honra al Estado Buckeye, el estado número 17 en unirse a la Unión. Los fans de Ohio lo celebran con "buckeyes", bolitas de crema de cacahuate bañadas a medias en chocolate para que se parezcan a la semilla brillante del árbol del estado.

🎂 Si hoy es tu cumpleaños

¿Naciste el 2 de noviembre? En numerología, el 2 es el número de la armonía, la colaboración y la diplomacia tranquila. Súmale la famosa lealtad e intensidad de Escorpio y tienes a alguien que siente todo a fondo, pero que sabe muy bien cómo mantener la paz.

Tu piedra zodiacal es el topacio, y las piedras de noviembre son el topacio y el citrino, así que un Escorpio de noviembre tiene doble coincidencia. El topacio se asocia desde hace mucho con la fuerza y la claridad, y el citrino con la calidez y la abundancia. Tu flor de nacimiento es el crisantemo, una flor alegre que simboliza la alegría y el optimismo.

¿Buscas un regalo que lo junte todo? Una joya de topacio o de citrino combina con el signo y con el mes, una maceta de crisantemos alegra cualquier entrada en noviembre, y los regalos de Escorpio le dan un toque personal. Agrega nuestra tarjeta de cumpleaños con la constelación de Escorpio, estrellas doradas sobre azul marino, impresa y enviada por correo o como descarga instantánea para mandarla hoy mismo.

November 2 Celebrations: Día de los Muertos & National Deviled Egg Day

November 2 sets two very different tables. One is an ofrenda glowing with marigolds and candles, set for loved ones who are remembered with joy instead of sadness. The other is a party platter of deviled eggs, the snack that always disappears first at the potluck. Different moods, same idea: bringing people together around something good.

Day of the Dead ofrenda with orange marigolds, candles, and pan de muerto beside a platter of deviled eggs dusted with paprika, for November 2 Celebrations


Día de los Muertos

Día de los Muertos is a Mexican tradition observed on November 1 and 2, blending Indigenous beliefs with the Catholic customs of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. November 1 is set aside for children who have passed, and November 2 is the main day, when families honor the adults they have lost. Homes and cemeteries fill with ofrendas decorated with photos, candles, favorite foods, pan de muerto, and bright orange cempasúchil marigolds, whose color and scent are believed to guide souls back home. The word cempasúchil comes from the Nahuatl cempoalxóchitl, meaning "flower of 20 petals." In 2008, UNESCO added the celebration to its list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

😄 Fun fact: Mexico City's giant Day of the Dead parade only began in 2016, after a James Bond movie opened with a parade that didn't exist yet, so the city decided to make it real.

Ways to celebrate:

  • Set up a small ofrenda with a photo, a candle, a few marigolds, and the favorite snack of someone you miss.
  • Pick up pan de muerto from a local Mexican bakery and share it with family or coworkers.
  • Tell a favorite story about a loved one at dinner tonight, the funnier the better.


National Deviled Egg Day

Deviled eggs go back much further than most party snacks. Cooks in ancient Rome boiled eggs and seasoned them with spicy sauces, serving them as a first course. Stuffed eggs closer to today's version appeared in Andalusia, in what is now Spain, around the 13th century. The word "devil" as a cooking term first showed up in print in Britain in 1786, describing dishes that were spicy or highly seasoned. Fannie Farmer's 1896 Boston Cooking School Cook Book was one of the first to suggest mayonnaise for the filling, and after World War II deviled eggs became a picnic and potluck classic across the United States.

😄 Fun fact: At some church potlucks in the South and Midwest, deviled eggs go by "stuffed eggs" or "dressed eggs," so nobody has to mention the devil at the buffet table.

Ways to celebrate:

  • Make the classic: mashed yolks, mayo, a little mustard, and a dusting of paprika.
  • Give them a twist with crispy bacon, chopped jalapeño, or a sprinkle of chile lime seasoning.
  • Bring a tray to work and watch how fast it empties.

Do you set up an ofrenda at home, or does your family guard a secret deviled egg recipe? Tell us in the comments.

Whether you spend today remembering someone special or simply snacking well, it's a day made for good company.

🎂 If Your Birthday Is Today

Born on November 2? In numerology, 2 is the number of harmony, partnership, and quiet diplomacy. Paired with Scorpio's famous loyalty and intensity, you get someone who feels everything deeply but still knows exactly how to keep the peace.

Your zodiac stone is topaz, and November's birthstones are topaz and citrine, so a November Scorpio gets a perfect double match. Topaz has long been linked with strength and clarity, and citrine with warmth and abundance. Your birth flower is the chrysanthemum, a cheerful bloom that stands for joy and optimism.

Looking for a gift that ties it all together?

November 1 Celebrations: More Than a Tradition, a Bridge to Our Roots

Today's Celebrations · Presented by ApostilleHelp

Día de los Muertos ofrenda for children with orange cempasúchil marigolds, candles, pan de muerto, candy, wooden toys, and a vintage family photo, with a candlelit cemetery seen through the doorway

November 1 opens one of the most meaningful weekends of the year. Día de los Muertos begins in Mexico, much of the Christian world marks All Saints' Day, millions celebrate World Vegan Day, and here in the U.S. the clocks just fell back. Here's what's happening today.

🌼 Día de los Muertos: A Day for the Little Angels

Every November 1 and 2, homes fill with the scent of cempasúchil (Mexican marigolds), the warm flicker of candles, and loving memories of those who went before us. It often gets compared to other holidays, but Día de los Muertos is not Mexican Halloween. It's a celebration of life, memory, and family coming back together.

In most regions of Mexico, November 1 is devoted to children who have passed, lovingly called los angelitos, the little angels. Their ofrendas often hold candy, small toys, and white flowers alongside the marigolds. November 2 is for the adults.

🌼 Fun Fact

The name cempasúchil comes from the Nahuatl word cempōhualxōchitl, meaning "twenty flowers." Known as the flower of the dead, its bright orange color and strong scent are said to guide souls back to the altars their families prepare for them.

✨ All Saints' Day

In the Western Christian calendar, November 1 honors all saints, known and unknown. In Mexico the day blends with Día de los Muertos, and across Latin America and Europe many families visit cemeteries to clean and decorate the graves of their loved ones.

🥗 World Vegan Day

Celebrated since 1994, World Vegan Day marks the founding of The Vegan Society in the United Kingdom in November 1944. It's a good excuse to try something new: veggie tamales de rajas or a mushroom pozole prove that Mexican cooking has plenty to offer without meat.

🇦🇬 Antigua and Barbuda Independence Day

On November 1, 1981, Antigua and Barbuda became independent from the United Kingdom. This small Caribbean nation is famous for its beaches; locals like to say there's one for every day of the year.

⏰ Don't Forget

Daylight saving time ended today at 2:00 a.m. in the U.S. If your clock doesn't update on its own, set it back one hour.

Also celebrated today in the U.S.: National Authors' Day, National Family Literacy Day, National Calzone Day, and National Cook for Your Pets Day.

A Bridge to Our Roots

For our community across Latin America and everyone with deep ties to Mexico, these days are a reminder that family bonds cross borders. Keeping that connection alive sometimes means handling official paperwork. If you need to present a California birth, marriage, or death certificate in Mexico for legal matters, an estate, or family business, it needs a California apostille.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Día de los Muertos the same as Halloween?

No. Halloween falls on October 31 and has Celtic roots. Día de los Muertos blends Indigenous Mexican traditions with the Catholic observances of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, and its spirit is one of reunion and love, not fear.

Why is November 1 dedicated to children?

In most regions of Mexico, November 1 remembers children who have died and November 2 remembers adults. That's why first-day ofrendas often include candy and toys.

Which California documents can be apostilled for Mexico?

Certified copies of birth, marriage, and death certificates issued by the county, documents notarized in California (such as powers of attorney), and certified court documents. Federal documents are apostilled by the U.S. Department of State, not by California.

Scorpio Season: Zodiac Traits, Birthstone & Gift Guide

Bronze scorpion figurine and golden topaz gemstone on black slate representing the Scorpio zodiac sign

Every year from October 23 to November 21, the sun moves through Scorpio, the zodiac's most intense and mysterious sign. It's also the season that brings Halloween and Día de los Muertos, which feels about right for a sign that has never been afraid of the dark. Whether you're a Scorpio yourself or shopping for one, this guide covers what makes the sign tick and how to find a gift or card that actually lands.



Scorpio is a water sign, ruled by Pluto in modern astrology and by Mars in the traditional system, a pairing that explains a lot. Its symbol is the scorpion, small, quiet, and never something you want to underestimate. Scorpios are often described as loyal, passionate, perceptive, and fiercely private, the kind of people who notice everything and forget nothing. That same depth can also show up as a tendency to hold on to a grudge a little longer than strictly necessary.

😄 Fun fact: Scorpio is often linked to three symbols, the scorpion, the eagle, and the phoenix, so it's the only sign that comes with its own evolution plan.

Ways to celebrate Scorpio season:

  • Plan a cozy night in with a good mystery novel, Scorpios never met a secret they didn't want to solve
  • Choose something meaningful over something flashy, this sign values depth far more than sparkle
  • Lean into the season's deep jewel tones, think burgundy, black, and dark red



Scorpio's traditional zodiac stone is topaz, with citrine as a traditional alternate. Topaz has long been associated with strength and healing, and its warm golden glow is a nice contrast to a sign known for its darker, moodier side. Here's a fun overlap: topaz and citrine are also November's birthstones, so a Scorpio born in November gets a perfect double match.

Let's celebrate it: a few gift and card ideas for the Scorpio in your life.


😄 Fun fact: The brightest star in the Scorpius constellation, Antares, gets its name from the Greek for "rival of Ares" because its red glow looks so much like Mars, very fitting for a Mars ruled sign.

Shopping for a November Scorpio? Order gifts and mail cards at least a week ahead.   For ideas matched to the exact date, birthstone, and birth flower, check our full Birthday Gift Finder.

Whether it's a small gift, a heartfelt card, or a quiet night in, Scorpio season rewards anything that comes straight from the heart.
