For many women, Valentine's Day is an emotional time. The operative question is, "How much do you love me?" Therefore, forget about practical gifts on this holiday. Something romantic is essential, even if you're not the romantic type. Every woman wants a special gift or experience geared just for her, which shows you put a lot of thought into it. Don't give candy unless you know she really wants it -- it's too impersonal. Flowers and a sweet card are a better bet. Knowing your beloved's particular affinities will help you zero in on what will please her most.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
Diamonds are definitely this girl's best friend. Her tempestuous nature loves the fire and sparkle of gemstones. Even better if they're in an engagement ring! If you can't afford such a high-end purchase, a charm bracelet with your names engraved in a heart will thrill her to her toes. A hot air balloon ride would really get her going, too.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
The Taurus woman has a lot on her plate, with all the work-related activities she juggles. Give her a lovely surprise that will lighten her load, like a spotless house, a romantic dinner or a getaway she had no idea was coming. The fact that you paid attention when she once hinted around about a place she longed to visit will score you extra points.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
A three-day sojourn out of town is right up the Gemini girl's alley, as she loves to visit new places. And, a letter or original poem that comes from your heart, however grammatically incorrect, would also be a big plus -- because that's what she'll surely do for you. A promise to do the dishes or clean the house for a week also rates highly with her.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
The Moonchild wants you to demonstrate your affections. Start with a card that may seem flowery to you but will move her deeply. Add a message about how much you love her and why she's so special. Then take her out to her favorite restaurant. You can't go wrong with pearls and roses, but forget the chocolates -- she's watching her figure.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
It's crucial to this woman that you put a lot of thought into whatever you give her. It may be simple, like a bouquet of daisies (if that's her favorite flower). Colorful balloons that say, "I Love You" are great. The Lioness loves gold and gems, but if it doesn't reflect her style, a simple card and a CD of her favorite music would be better.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
This earthy woman craves proof of your commitment. A simple "promise ring" is good. Even better, go out shopping together and buy one for each other. Create a special love nest, and spend several hours pleasing her. She'd love a hike together to the top of a mountain where you shout your love for her to the world, or carve your names in a tree.
