Line Commentary
When a man meets his destined ruler, they can be together ten days, and it is not a mistake. Going meets with recognition. To bring about abundance, a union of clarity with energetic movement is needed. Two individuals with these attributes are suited to each other. Even if they spend an entire cycle of time together during abundance, it will not be too long. Go forth to make your influence felt; it will meet with recognition.
