Weekly Horoscope beginning Sunday 1st March 2009

You could be a master of the art of persuasion midweek and creative thinking might be inspired from the depths. Certainly, thoughts and ideas may come thick and fast as the week progresses and your self belief and personal self-esteem might be transformed somewhat by events this week. Venus turns retrograde in Aries later this week signalling a period of re-evaluation of desires and evolving personal likes and dislikes. This process occurs c every two years and recurs in the same sign every eight years giving you an opportunity to become more objective towards the values on which you have based your identity, particularly in relation to your desire for love, happiness and romance. Giving conscious attention to how you are feeling through March and April - asking yourself if your feelings ring true for you or are values that have possibly been adopted from family or peers - could pay dividends in the future. Emotional strength could be tested by problems with parents or authority figures as the weekend approaches however.
