Fasting As A Remedy
Fasting is a sacred practice in astrology that helps purify the body, calm the mind, and realign one’s inner energies. It is a powerful way to strengthen an afflicted Moon, which governs the mind, emotions, and nourishment.
In Vedic tradition, each planet responds to discipline and devotion. Fasting on Mondays benefits the Moon, while Saturdays help pacify Saturn’s challenges. When practiced with awareness, fasting becomes more than abstaining from food — it becomes a conscious act of aligning with dharma, reducing reactive tendencies, and opening the subtle body to spiritual insight. Fasting on your birth Tithi (lunar day) is especially powerful, as it aligns your personal emotional rhythm with cosmic timing, helping to purify past karmas and recharge your inner light. In this stillness, the mind surrenders, and the soul’s guidance becomes clear.
