How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
October 27th through history
Big Bang in the City, and a cottage in Yorkshire
The London Stock Exchange was deregulated on October 27th 1986 in a single day’s change known as Big Bang. Fixed commissions went, the distinction between brokers and jobbers went, foreign firms were let in, and trading moved off the floor and onto screens. The floor, which had been the centre of the business for two centuries, was largely deserted within a fortnight, and the business of the City moved permanently into the dealing rooms upstairs.
Wallis Simpson was granted a decree nisi at Ipswich Assizes on October 27th 1936. The British press had agreed among themselves to say nothing of the King’s private life, and the American papers had made no such agreement; the story finally broke in Britain five weeks later, and Edward VIII abdicated on December 11th.
James Cook was born in a two-roomed cottage at Marton in Yorkshire on October 27th 1728, to a farm labourer and his wife, and was apprenticed to a shopkeeper at Staithes before going to sea in Whitby colliers. He charted more of the world’s coastline than anyone before him.
John Cleese, the actor and comedian who co-founded Monty Python and later starred in Fawlty Towers, had a father who had changed the family name from Cheese on joining the army, which spared his son a good deal; he was born at Weston-super-Mare in 1939. Dylan Thomas, the Welsh poet best remembered for Under Milk Wood, was born in Swansea on October 27th 1914.
Born on October 27th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Captain James Cook and Dylan Thomas — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Scorpio — a Water sign ruled by Mars (traditional) / Pluto (modern), symbolised by the Scorpion.
Birthstone
traditionally Opal, or Opal or Tourmaline in the modern list for October.
Birth flower
Marigold (primary), also Cosmos — most commonly cited sources agree on marigold as the main October flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — opal for the stone, Scorpio for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
