Newsletter - National Field Archery Society

Welcome to the end of the year and many thanks for
reading the Field Archers’ Horoscope. I have been
delighted to find so many of you letting me know that
you are regular readers and a surprising number of you
have found it to be uncannily accurate. Thank you for
the feedback and support, I hope you have enjoyed
reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
Scorpio
A little pick-me-up might be just what you need over the
next couple of months as you have been very busy and
barely had a minute to breathe lately. You can relax a bit
over the winter as you won’t be at quite as many shoots
and can spend time relaxing and enjoying your creature
comforts.
Lucky charm – the eye of Horus.
Sagittarius
You are about to take a leap of faith, Saggie, by reverting
back to an old style you haven’t shot for ages. Maybe
this will be as simple as going back to your old sights or
perhaps you fancy a change of bow. Whatever you do, it
will pay dividends and bring lots of enjoyment, allowing
you to recapture your love of archery all over again.
Lucky charm – the hand of Fatima.
Capricorn
What happened? You were supposed to be improving on
your personal best remember? December is one of your
most favourable times of year and the stars are shining
in your direction, but just remember it’s not about the
winning, it’s taking part that counts.
Lucky charm – the pentagram.
Aquarius
The National Champs did you proud, well done! Just
beware of letting it go to your head or you will be disappointed
on November 20th. Oh, hang on, that’s a Tuesday.
Beware of disagreements with work colleagues in that
case. Better still, call in sick and avoid the hassle!
Lucky charm – the Mexican eye.
Pisces
You need a new pair of soft leather gloves you can shoot
in or you will end up complaining at the end of year. Make
sure you spend plenty of time networking over the next
month or so as new connections will be made and solid
friendships begin to form that will take you in new directions.
Lucky charm – a silver sixpence.
Aries
You may find it difficult to fit in as many shoots as you
would like over the next couple of months and even your
18
Coffee Break
The Field Archers’ Horoscope
by Moira Hodgkinson
regular practice routine is about to be interrupted with
mundane matters. Your weekends are starting to fill with
other activities that are unavoidable and not nearly so
much fun.
Lucky charm – a peacock feather.
Taurus
You have been doing better with your scores of late but
still need a lot more practice in order to get your scores
up. You will perform better and work harder to beat your
PB very soon and with the pressure of the Champs off
the boil, there is plenty of time for practice, improvement
and enjoyment.
Lucky charm – a horseshoe.
Gemini
November is a very lucky month for you, Gemini, with
love, relationships and finances all doing well. The new
moon on the 13th indicates that practice around this time
will put you in a winning position.
Lucky charm – Maneki-Neko (the golden Chinese cat with
the waving paw.)
Cancer
New financial commitments are favourable at this time so
it might not be a bad idea to invest in some new equipment
or a course of training. You will be tempted by the
seasonal goodies around this time so it might be advisable
to stay clear of the bacon buttie wagon or make sure you
stride vigorously round the courses to walk it off.
Lucky charm – a four leaf clover.
Leo
You are already planning your list for the guy in the red
hat and you know he always checks it twice so be a good
girl, make sure your significant other sees said list and
look forward to a festive season spent in the garden with
your brand new shiny arrows and a pretty new engraved
leather arm guard.
Lucky charm – white heather.
Virgo
You will be at your best in the first week of December
with lots of potential for great shots, great scores and
great company. Your technique will be strong, putting you
in a good position to beat your key competition.
Lucky charm – apache tears.
Libra
You are going to have a great session at the practice
bosses towards the end of December and this will carry
on once you get to the targets. Well done Libra, looks like
you’re doing well overall so don’t be disappointed if you
lose a few arrows in the snow and mud.
Lucky charm – a seven-spotted ladybird.
