This week will be marked by several powerful astrological events. There will be a new moon, the spring equinox, and so-called zero solar days, considered a special time for reflection, resetting, and reassessing events.

Astrologer Kateryna Soloviova shared her weekly horoscope, highlighting the riskiest days.

March 16

Due to Mercury retrograde (Feb 26 – Mar 20), avoid important negotiations, signing contracts, buying electronics, critical business trips, exams, major payments, and resolving conflicts with neighbors.

The second zero solar day begins at 4:18 p.m. on March 16 and lasts until 4:24 p.m. on March 17. These dolphin days precede the new astrological year and are ideal for reflection, letting go of the old, fasting, emotional balance, and patience.

Possible feelings include loneliness, fatigue, anxiety, sadness, and vulnerability. The day also offers a chance to recharge with positive energy. Humility is key, advises Solovyova.

March 17

Not favorable for new projects, moving, starting a new job, or getting married. Avoid major purchases, car or equipment repairs, and overwork.

The third zero solar day lasts from 4:24 p.m. on March 17 to 4:31 p.m. on March 18. Limit social interactions to avoid negative influences and focus on resolving conflicts.

March 18

Avoid starting new tasks, important decisions, surgery, dental work, or hair appointments. Release false connections and toxic people.

The fourth zero solar day runs from 4:31 p.m. on March 18 to 4:38 p.m. on March 19. Focus on physical and mental health, finishing tasks, repaying debts, and organizing reports. Fasting, cleansing, and water therapies are recommended.

March 19

Avoid starting business, legal, travel, educational, scientific, or foreign-related matters. The fifth zero solar day is from 4:38 p.m. on March 19 to 4:46 p.m. on March 20. Resist temptations and listen to your intuition.

A precise new moon occurs at 3:23 a.m., with the Moon in Pisces conjunct the Sun. Health, psychology, long-distance travel, retreats, art, habits, and creativity will be in focus.

March 20

Avoid new financial commitments, business registrations, big purchases, dating, major home updates, cosmetic or surgical procedures, and unfamiliar foods. Focus on music, art, theater, or other creative activities.

From 11:23 a.m. to midnight, the Moon is void-of-course, a period similar to Mercury retrograde. Expect mistakes, confusion, inattention, and illusions.

At 4:46 p.m., the Sun enters the first degree of Aries, marking the astronomical start of spring and the new year in the Northern Hemisphere – the spring equinox, traditionally seen as a day with magical properties.

March 21

Not ideal for new projects, important decisions, surgery, or hair appointments. Focus on home tasks and family rest. Retro Mercury shadow period continues.

Return to previous projects, reconnect with old acquaintances, redo exams, revisit old places, recover lost items, and analyze situations.

March 22

A creative day to plan, analyze, and adjust major life changes in personal and social spheres. Avoid fasting and unnecessary chores. Eliminate toxic contacts and refrain from starting new work, entertainment, or romantic ventures.
