It conjoins your thighs. Hold on to your following! Going on brings distress.
You are in danger of becoming obsessed by this influence. If you go on running after it you will be covered in distress. Every time you try to gather the people for a great project it will end in lamentation. Give this sort of effort up. Let go of the past and focus on your real ideals. There is no game in the field for you now. Open your heart to the new spirit. Gather energy for a decisive new move.

The influence shows itself in the thighs.
Holds to that which follows it.

To continue is humiliating.
Every mood of the heart influences us to movement. What the heart desires, the thighs run after without a moment's hesitation; they hold to the heart, which they follow. In the life of man, however, acting on the spur of every caprice is wrong and if continued leads to humiliation. Three considerations suggest themselves here. First, a man should not run precipitately after all the persons whom he would like to influence, but must be able to hold back under certain circumstances. As little should he yield immediately to every whim of those in whose service he stands. Finally, where the moods of his own heart are concerned, he should never ignore the possibility of inhibition, for this is the basis of human freedom.
