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.
