The Guided Meditation To Try On Valentine's Day, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

In theory, Valentine's Day is an all-around positive experience filled with love for all. But in reality it's just an ordinary weekday, and our feelings don't get paused for the holiday's sake. If you're struggling with the pressure that surrounds Feb. 14, it can be helpful to know not just how your zodiac sign will be affected on Valentine's Day, but specific meditations that can help you deal, too.

While each sign will have their own unique experience with the holiday, astrologer Lisa Stardust says that all signs will be affected by the moon's presence in "the evocative and erotic" Scorpio this year.

"Venus will be in passionate Aries and Mercury in passive Pisces," Stardust tells Bustle. "All of these energies will clash and water the other out, making us feel lost in our emotions." Meaning, all signs will be dealing with complex emotional challenges, so it's important to drop our expectations for a carefree holiday so that we're not disappointed. Luckily, meditation helps to reconcile the difference between our expectations and reality.

Below, you'll find a list of guided meditation sessions for each sign, based on what Stardust predicted each sign will be struggling with. Whether you have 10 minutes or an hour, any time you put towards centering yourself and focusing on your inner feelings will be helpful to you during this time.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

You might be feeling jealous of all the couples' pics on your Instagram feed this Valentine's Day, Aries. "This is due to Venus’s alignment on your Sun because such sentiments can be activated during this transit," Stardust says.
