Connection between fasting and planets (especially Moon)

[ddd]

Hi,

I have a feeling that there is an intimate connection between Moon and fasting. I am sharing my thoughts, and these thoughts have some astrological basis but more is my personal feeling. So please share your opinion on this.

The Moon is a karaka for the mind and also karaka of food in general. So when we perform fasting (abstaining from any form of food ) , we are keeping away from food (Moon) , so indirectly we are reducing Moon's influence on us to some extent by keeping away from something that Moon is karaka for (Food). So, since this will reduce Moon's influence, and since the Mood is also mind, it will also weaken our mind because now Moon's tatva is getting diminished after fasting. So as the mind weakens or rather goes in background, intellect (Mercury) comes to surface or comes in foreground (in a way we can say intellect is no more clouded by chaotic "mind").

So this must be the reason that fasting might have astrological benefits. This thought is specifically in connection to the Moon. But please also let me know if someone has any idea on how the fasting will have effect on one's other planets.
