Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and all the hinting and cajoling has probably gone unnoticed (because frankly, you probably don't notice hints). Hints are gamy and annoying and for Pete's sake you just want her to tell you what she wants. Good luck with that. If you have been dating for a short time she wants you to "surprise her" and if you have been together for years she thinks you "should know what she likes by now". Welcome to the no win scenario. Lucky for you, we are here to help you.

Aries Sun/Venus woman: This Woman is a powerhouse and has probably been too busy conquering the world to even remember it is Valentines day. So what would make her happy? You giving her a chance to rest. She may fight you on the idea but get her to lay back on the couch while you give her a foot rub while she drinks good champagne. Make sure there is some food ready, either because you cooked it or because you got take out from her favorite restaurant, but don't cheap out. She deserves the finer things and giving them to her makes her feel like you think she IS the finest thing. That will get her blood boiling and then you will be the last course!

Taurus Sun/Venus Woman: What ever you do, make it slow. Don't try to hurry her! She likes all five of her senses stimulated, so light some scented candles for romance, feed her down home comfort food (homemade soup, pot roast or meatloaf unless she has been sticking to a diet in which case make it small portions of those foods), make sure you are wearing her favorite shirt and groomed the way she likes and tell her how beautiful she is. Simple thoughtful gifts like a CD of her favorite songs really DO mean something to her. In her case the thought does count. (Try that on a Leo and be ready to sleep on the couch!). Most Tauruses do things in an orderly fashion so expect her to finish eating before you try to entice her to cuddle on the couch. Than pick a romantic movie with a good sexy scene toward the beginning. If you have followed these instructions you wont see the end of the movie...

Gemini Sun/Venus Woman: She wants you listen to her. I know, I'm bored already too, but that is it. She then wants you to call her and tell her how much you're looking forward to seeing her. She then wants to sit in front of you so she can listen to you telling her how interesting and delightful she is ( which probably isn't that tough since she probably is). Then she wants at least two cards where you wrote all about how much you care for her and how interesting and fun she is. Then she wants you to text her so that she can start to text you back about how great she thinks you are before you she has to give up because its taking to long to write it all and she would rather just talk to you anyway. . . You get the idea. She wants to talk and listen about how much you two like each other. As gifts go a new cell phone, headset or stationary will make her very, very happy. Crazy right? I don't claim to understand her... I just relay the information. The upside is that she will love it if you talk dirty to her. Like I said... she likes to listen and she will probably talk back

Cancer Sun/Venus Woman: She takes care of everyone so making her feel loved means taking care of her. A simple homemade meal will mean more to her than you know. Unless you cook all the time in which case it had better be a fancy home cooked meal. If you don't cook take her to a nice restaurant with a homey atmosphere but good food. Make a reservation in advance, tell them her first name and ask them to address her by it so she feels welcome. Ask her what she is planning to have and when the waitperson comes order for her. She will swoon. Have a dessert planned at home. As gifts go hand picked flowers in a beautiful vase will make her weak in the knees! Now that you have coaxed her out of her shell give here a long lingering kiss and see where it leads. . .

Leo Sun/Venus Woman: The cliché is that Leos like shiny, showy things... a little like a raccoon chasing a ball of tinfoil around in a trash can. The truth is that Leos do like shiny things, and they've earned it: if you've gained the love a Leo, you know it's really something to bask in. Get her something special of course... it doesn't have to be big. Just shiny. And special. Even playful will do, like something she can amuse herself with at her desk at work (and that shows her co-workers how much you love her). You're better off with even the tiniest little accessory, like little lion earrings, than something huge and expensive. Barring that... "huge and expensive" will also do nicely. Then pour her a couple of drinks, tell her how truly unique and precious she is to you, then spend a couple of hours demonstrating while naked. Works every time!

Virgo Sun/Venus Woman: Now here's a woman with a serious public image problem. Read any description of Virgo women and they sound a bit... sanitary for most men's tastes. Not true! Virgo women always have a little trashiness in there somewhere... and often, they have a lot. Your opening bid on Valentine's Day should be romantic, yet not seem out of place if it happened in the 1950s. Get her a nice tasteful card, and dinner at a well-reviewed restaurant. Then take her home, pull out a gift from Ye Olde Sex Shoppe, and spring some of the best lines you've memorized from "Penthouse Letters" on her. Remember: treat her like an absolutely lady in public, then trash it up afterwards. That approach is like Virgo Catnip. Sweet, free range, hypo-allergenic catnip.

Libra Sun/Venus Woman: Libra is both the easiest and the hardest to shop for on this list. On the one hand, Valentine's itself comes across like some kind of Libra plot, so just playing along can lead to a win. On the other hand, they've got the romance thing on their mind so much that it's almost like trying to beat a professional athlete at their own game. Don't sweat it though: if you make an effort, you'll be (at worst) forgiven and (at best) praised. Bonus points: try something you made yourself, or write a love letter and put some thought into it. Even a crayon drawing shows you made the effort... for her and her alone. As long as she doesn't sense you made your choice based on your budget, you win.

Scorpio Sun/Venus Woman: Forget everything you've read for a moment that makes Scorpio sound like a cross between James Bond and a hooker. Start with the usual candy and flowers... then, think intrigue. A little of the exotic goes a long way with a Scorpio. It's not that you got her an anklet... get her one with some kind of odd symbol on it, or that looks like it came from Kathmandu, or whatever. Something primarily dark or unassuming-looking with shiny or interesting little details is good too. The surprise to opening the gift itself is also part of the appeal... wrap it nicely and don't make it too easy to rip open. Afterwards, go home and treat her like... well, like you're James Bond... and you can't miss.

Sagittarius Sun/Venus Woman: Three steps: 1) Something girly like flowers or candy, because (as on Sag woman once put it) "I'm just as girly at heart as the next guy, dude." 2) A romantic but humorous novelty gift, like a boxing glove that says "You Knock Me Out!" or something. Sagittarians love to laugh. 3) Over a romantic dinner, let her know you'll be getting physical later. Don't be afraid to insert this casually, at random into the conversation, and don't be shy to phrase it like "I'm gonna hit that like a jackhammer when we get home, Babe." Then take her home and follow through.

Capricorn Sun/Venus Woman: Capricorn has this reputation for being kind of controlled and detached and generally not very Valentines-ish. That isn't true at all. Goat Girls are lovely, sensitive creatures who thrive on emotion and acceptance just as much as their opposite sign, Cancer, which has the reputation for being that way. Fortunately, they also respond to a sincere emotional effort. Honestly, you can get them almost anything and take them almost anywhere, as long as those things/places don't suck. And as long as they aren't cheap. Or, at least, as long as they don't look cheap. Then take her home and get naked. Efficiently.

Aquarius Sun/Venus Woman: Valentine's Day itself falls in Aquarius, which might make you think Aquarians are naturally attuned to the romance of the day. Often, though, their more in tune with the "universal values" of Valentine's Day... which means they're likely to gripe about how commercialized Valentine's Day is. Try something practical or useful related to her hobbies and interests, in a romantic package. Like, new crochet needles presented in a bouquet of roses, if she's into crochet. If it seems a little weird, yet personalized, and it's wrapped in something romantic looking, you've done well. Then take her home for some of that Universal Love Vibration.

Pisces Sun/Venus Woman: You win! Even those rare crusty, mean Pisces usually respond well on one level or another to romantic gestures. Buy her some of (or accessories for) her favorite mind altering substance (FMAS) -- whether it comes in a bottle, baggie, or a church. Look her in the eyes and tell her how important she is to you, and how you appreciate all her kindnesses and sensitivity. Then take her out, get her good and wasted on a stylish portion of her FMAS, and afterwards take her home and... well, you get the idea. And no matter how frisky, weird, trashy or awkward she like her "afterwards", do it her way... just make sure you refer to it as "making love" afterwards...
