I always love the Lunar New Year! It’s a time to reset and I think of it as sort of a second chance – just in case some of those New Year’s resolutions didn’t quite take.

2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger in the Chinese calendar. It only comes around once every 60 years. The Tiger years are seen as the time to renew everything, especially your energy and strength. Water Tiger years are also associated with prosperity.

Not a surprise that the Tiger’s Eye gemstone also represents energy and strength in addition to self-confidence, willpower and positive energy. It is a very protective stone and has been used as a talisman by travelers for centuries. Tiger’s Eye balances the yin-yang energies in your emotional body and is used to lift one’s mood. It’s also useful for moving past creative blocks.

Golden Tiger’s Eye is extremely popular and in addition to the general properties of the Tiger Eye, helps cultivate awareness of details and promotes sound decisions. The Blue Tiger’s Eye is stunning to behold and is an incredible source for calming the nerves and reducing stress.

As we enter into the Year of the Tiger, I think, what a wonderful time to appreciate the beauty and strength of this amazing animal and to explore the energies of the Tiger’s Eye stone.
