Fasting by Weekday: Complete Planetary Fasting Plan
This weekday fasting plan lines up each day with its planet, a safe meal pattern, a short mantra, and a matching charity act. Use it with the Weekly Remedy Schedule, the Planetary Charity Calendar 2026, and the Monthly Planetary Remedies 2026 Guide so your fasting, donations, and mantras stay in sync.
Quick Rules for Safe Fasting
- Stay hydrated; add electrolytes if you feel dizzy.
- If you have medical needs, skip the fast and do the mantra + charity instead.
- Keep meals simple (satvik) and avoid heavy fried or ultra-spicy food.
- Break fasts gently with fruit, warm water, and light grains.
- Keep language simple when sharing with family: “Moon day = milk and calm,” “Saturn day = sesame and patience.”

Step-by-Step Fasting Flow (Reusable Daily)

- Plan meals (2 min): Choose your allowed foods; prep before work.
- Hydrate (all day): Sip water every hour; add a pinch of salt/lemon if needed.
- Chant (5-10 min): Use the planet’s mantra; 27 repetitions are enough.

- Journal (2 min): Track mood, energy, and focus in one line.
Time-Zone Tips
- US West (PST): Do the fast the same calendar day, but shift charity to morning PST so it lands in IST daytime.
- US East (EST): Start early; break the fast by early evening to stay rested.
- UK/EU: Same-day fasting is easy; set IST reminder minus 5 hours.
- APAC: You are ahead; start early and send charity photos for family to mirror later.

FAQs
Can beginners fast every day?
Start with one day (Monday or Thursday). Add another day after two weeks if you feel stable.
What if I feel dizzy?
Stop the fast, hydrate with ORS or salted lemon water, eat fruit, and rest. Keep the mantra + charity to stay aligned.
Do teens or elders need to fast?
Only if medically safe. Otherwise, do a light food adjustment plus mantra and charity.
What breaks a fast?
Meals outside the plan count as breaking it. If that happens, reset with water, do the mantra, and continue the charity action.
Quick Checklist
- Pick one anchor day to start (Monday or Thursday).

- Log mood/energy; adjust intensity, not intention.
Fasting works when it is safe, steady, and kind. Keep portions simple, hydrate, pair with mantra and charity, and let the weekly rhythm build gentle discipline.
