king of beasts in Eastern mythology, Tiger’s Eye portrayed

building up skills and a knowledge base for major career changes
in the future. [Eason, 107]
Tiger’s Eye warns against complacency and emboldens one to
“step out of the box” in order to grow and challenge one’s artistic
and creative talents, physical abilities and trying something new.

during exams, competitions, public performances, selling one’s
creations in the market place, or presenting ideas in important
meetings. [Hall, 290][Eason, 107][Lembo, 334-335] [Megemont, 177]

unfamiliar places or circumstances, and for protection from the
negative intentions of others. Tiger’s Eye sharpens the senses,
helping one pay attention to details and prepare for positive action.
It reflects an overview of situations and assists when things are
happening too fast. It is one of the best aids for resolving a crisis,
and provides perfect support when one is afraid of making a wrong
decision. Use for quick thinking, sizing up someone’s character,
and for realizing the consequences of one’s own actions. [Megemont,
