Aries

No problems here. You'll simply ask directly and without a blush ... but perhaps you need to soften your approach. Be sensitive to your partner's mood and make sure your timing is right. And let them think it was their idea!

Taurus

Underneath the surface, you're fairly centred on your own needs, so you're always happy to include your partner in your personal indulgences. But if you're not getting enough cuddles, you'll have to start slowly and keep your lover practicing. They'll soon find it's what they also adore.

Gemini

Do you know what you want emotionally - or even sexually? This should be your starting point. Ask yourself, and once you find the answer, start giving what you want to get. After all, what goes around, comes around.

Cancer

You often become withdrawn if you don't get what you need. However, you should realise that your partner isn't psychic, so don't leave them to guess what it is you're after. If you don't ask for it, odds are you won't get it!

Leo

You get puzzled and even slightly hurt when your needs aren't met, as if you expect your partner to be completely tuned into you all the time. Try offering something to them at the very first moment you're together. If you soften them up, they're more likely to want to repay you with everything you dream of.

Virgo

You're good at giving in a practical sense, but less adept when it comes to demanding. Listen to your body, and try to feel what it wants. Stop rushing around; instead, prepare a romantic mood and don't hold back. Whatever you do, don't sound critical or make them feel as if they're failing.

Libra

You're so busy thinking about what your lover would like, you often don't consider what you want. Because of this selflessness, you may need to get them into the habit of thinking about you. It's a process, not a one-off demand, so remain persistent.

Scorpio

You know exactly what you like ... and exactly how to operate your way into getting it. If it isn't happening, perhaps it's time to ask yourself if your current partner is the right one. Not everyone can match your yearnings for a deep soul connection through the body.

Sagittarius

You'll come right out and say it, but your direct approach may not produce the right result. Your upfront comments can be crushing. Slow down and get sultry. Remember, not everything has to be a high-speed dash, or spelled out explicitly.

Capricorn

Persuading yourself that you're allowed to indulge may be the first step; then you'll need to throw away your inhibitions and stop worrying about being ashamed. Lovers will be so astonished when you ask for what you want, they'll instantly comply.

More than anything, you need space. But this is often tricky to ask for without sounding as if you're rejecting your lover. Figure out how to show them that freedom doesn't mean separation. You'll rush back into their arms revitalised after time apart.

Pisces

You'd never dream of asking outright, but you've got a subtly ingenious way of inserting your needs into the atmosphere without having to utter a word. You'll hint with gestures and seductive clothes - and your lover will figure it out soon enough.
