If you've been feeling unusually off-balance today, there's a cosmic reason. Astrologer Kateryna Soloviova has issued a urgent warning about this week's celestial conditions: March 17 falls within the "zero solar days"—a period considered among the riskiest of the entire year .

 

What Are Zero Solar Days?

 

Zero solar days, sometimes called "dolphin days," occur just before the new astrological year begins with the spring equinox. The second zero solar day started at 4:18 PM on March 16 and lasts until 4:24 PM today, March 17. These are times for reflection, letting go of the old, and maintaining emotional balance—definitely not for launching anything new .

 

Today's Warning: March 17

 

Astrologers are unanimous: Today is not favorable for:

- Starting new projects

- Moving homes or offices

- Beginning a new job

- Getting married

- Major purchases (cars, electronics, equipment)

- Overworking yourself 

 

The third zero solar day begins at 4:24 PM today and continues through tomorrow. During this window, experts recommend limiting social interactions to avoid negative influences and focusing instead on resolving existing conflicts rather than creating new ones .

 

Mercury Retrograde Intensifies

 

Remember that Mercury has been retrograde since February 26 and will remain so until March 20. This combination with zero solar days creates a perfect storm for miscommunication, technical failures, and poor judgment. Important negotiations, contract signing, electronics purchases, and critical travel should all wait .

 

What You Should Do Instead

 

Soloviova suggests using this time for:

- Reflection and meditation

- Letting go of old patterns

- Fasting or light eating

- Emotional balance practices

- Patience above all 

 

The Equinox Approaches

 

The spring equinox arrives March 20 at 4:46 PM, marking the astronomical start of spring and the new astrological year. Traditionally considered a day with magical properties, it will also see Mercury finally stationing direct. Until then, the advice is simple: slow down, think twice, and don't push .
