Moon calendar for fasting: January 2029

The old moon calendars set fasting and giving the body a rest in the time of the waning Moon. In the old view, that is when the body lets go more easily of what it no longer needs.

A good start

Mon 1, Tue 2, Wed 3, Wed 31

The first days after the full moon are traditionally a good time to begin a fast, because the whole waning phase still lies ahead of you.

Waning Moon

Mon 1, Tue 2, Wed 3, Thu 4, Fri 5, Sat 6, Sun 7, Mon 8, Tue 9, Wed 10, Thu 11, Fri 12, Sat 13, Sun 14, Tue 30, Wed 31

Traditionally, fasting is said to come more easily while the Moon is waning.

The new moon itself is traditionally seen as 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.
