Should you fast 7 days a week?

Now suppose you have more than one planet afflicted in your birth chart, will you fast tor all the afflicted planets? Now, that would be taxing on your health. lt would be better to fast on one chosen day than all the days. That is if you worship one God property, you please all the Gods.

Mondays or Tuesdays

Suppose you have both Moon and Mars afflicted at birth. Instead of fasting on both days, choose Tuesday instead. This is because 'mangalya' means auspicious. Ladies should fast on Tuesdays as they will enjoy a long, married life.
