Moon calendar for fasting: January 2028

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

Thu 13, Fri 14, Sat 15

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

Wed 12, Thu 13, Fri 14, Sat 15, Sun 16, Mon 17, Tue 18, Wed 19, Thu 20, Fri 21, Sat 22, Sun 23, Mon 24, Tue 25, Wed 26

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.
