Calculations made for Imbolg at Temple Crom, 53.73801 - 8.57184. The ‘Event’ is at 17:19 - Sun: Alt-2* Azi 242*, Dark Moon: Alt -3* Azi 237* with the star Fomalhaut briefly appearing just above the horizon at Alt +1* Azi 244*. Horizon Stars - Fomalhaut (reddish in color but categorized as a white star):  Arabic means ‘Mouth of the Southern Fish’, Iota Capricorni: Sumerian means ‘Goat Fish’, Albali: Arabic means ‘the Swallower’, Denebokab: Arabic means ‘the Eagle’s Tail’.

The conjunction of the Sun with the Dark Moon below the Horizon while Fomalhaut is just above gives us the timing for Imbolg. Imbolg means ‘in the belly’ and is the start of the Celtic Spring at the end of the day and the start of the night. Imbolg is a moveable ‘feast’ that can align with ‘St Brigid’s Day’ but it can vary up to two weeks either side of February 1st. Imbolg means ‘in the belly’. In Ireland this calculation gives us the true date to honour our connection with the sacred Cow. In rebuilding of our starlore for these modern times we see ‘Bó chluasach dearg’ (red eared mother cow) with her head down cleaning her calf as the starlore symbol. White cows with red ears were sacred animals in Celtic Ireland. As a child Brigid was said to have been sustained by the milk of a white cow with red ears and this sacred cow also gave milk to all the poor she encountered on her travels. The deity is ‘Brigid’ daughter of Dagda, patroness of Druids from the living Imbolg tradition today all over Ireland.
