水瓶妻聪慧有天赋天性敏感

 　　The Aquarian Wife

　　January 20 to February I8

　　The Aquarian woman is one of the highest of the Zodiacal types, but she does not slip into matrimony with the ease of a sensitive little Cancer woman, or an insinuating¹ Pisces woman, and yet the Aquarian woman is better equipped for marriage than either of the two types mentioned.

　　She is better equipped in that she is a capable, intellectual woman, discerning, adaptable², and often very talented. She has a man's ability to accomplish a day's work without grumbling³ or fatigue⁴, and coupled with her undoubted ability to be a good housekeeper⁵, she is like the Sagittarian woman, a very fine companion.

　　She attracts people, and her easy, friendly manners make her home a social center. Her interests are apt to be wide, and it never occurs to her to watch the husband's actions with suspicion, or try to check up on how he spends his spare time. Naturally, she trusts him. Her own behavior is above reproach. Aquarian women are the kindest in the world, and they would rather suffer themselves than create a condition from which some one else might have grief and sorrow. However, basically, the Aquarian woman is unconventional, and should her urge for a change of partners be sufficiently⁶ justified⁷, she would make the change.

　　Emotionally, she is responsive, but her intellect rules her, and she is the most appreciated as a wife when married to an intellectual man, whose work she can share, and who is able to use her undoubted abilities in his own behalf.
