　　The Libra Wife

　　September 24 to October 23

　　One of the most interesting love natures is found in either sex of the Libra person. The sign has a decided¹ feminine leaning, with the highest Venus influence prevailing².

　　These women have a delicate, spiritual appeal. They are ideal wives for wealthy, successful men who are stimulated³ by union with a woman who is like an orchid⁴. This type of wife looks exotic, and designs a background for herself in keeping with her rare, exquisite⁵ personality. Actually these women are not as fragile as they appear. The Libra wife is a fine mental companion, wise in the ways of partnership⁶, and well able to bring harmony into the home life.

　　On of her special gifts is this talent for harmony. She has an instinctive⁷ knowledge of how to get with people, and attracts an interesting social circle. At the same time she  never neglects her own family, but gives them all loving attention of which her gracious nature is capable.

　　The Libra wife is distinctly a luxury. She is usually very attractive, and always has a group of admirers seeking her favors. While she requires a varied⁸ social life, she is too well balanced to encourage indiscriminate flirtation⁹, but if she were to find herself emotionally involved, her response would never be underhand. This type of woman does not encourage scandal. Because she is so attractive, her life is sometimes more complicated than the existence of the plainer woman, but a husband can always feel confident that she will rise to occasion.As has been intimated, the Libra woman is the type who makes a lovely sheltered wife. Her passions are voluptuous¹⁰, and demand a “quality setting.” She is responsive, intuitive and intellectual. Her passional response to married life is extreme ly satisfying, and in many respects she is the best suited of all of the Zodiacal types to be a wife in the strictly¹¹ personal sense of the word.
