A good planet is very strong in a corner house. The 8th house has no planet. Then life is 30 years. If good planets look at that good planet, 10 years are added. Next: Jupiter is in its own sign and its own drekkana (one-third part of a sign). Then life is 27 years. A good planet is in its own sign or in the 1st house. The Moon is in the 7th house. Good planets are in the 5th and 9th houses. Then life is 60 years. (Our text is unclear here: the words for the 10 years may instead mean the Moon in the 10th house.)
Simple meaning: A strong good planet in a corner house with an empty 8th house gives about 30 years.
