Moon calendar for fasting: April 2030

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

Fri 19, Sat 20, Sun 21

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

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

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.
