Moon calendar for fasting: August 2027

The old moon calendars place fasting and giving the body a rest in the time of the waning moon. Then the body is said to let go more easily of what it does not need.

A good start

Wed 18, Thu 19, Fri 20

The first days after the full moon count as a good start for a fast, because the whole waning moon still lies ahead of you.

Waning moon

Sun 1, Mon 2, Tue 17, Wed 18, Thu 19, Fri 20, Sat 21, Sun 22, Mon 23, Tue 24, Wed 25, Thu 26, Fri 27, Sat 28, Sun 29, Mon 30, Tue 31

According to tradition, fasting comes more easily with a waning moon.

Tradition calls the new moon itself a good day to bring a fast to an end.

The Moon's position is computed for every day at noon, Central European Time. The rules are tradition, as the old moon calendars hand them down, not a promise. The whole calendar: moon calendar.
