Guan Di lot 51 of 100
Let things follow their course
Good (上吉, 己甲). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 己甲 is from manekineko.com.tw.
君今百事且隨緣
水到渠成聽自然
莫嘆年來不如意
喜逢新運稱心田
For now, let a hundred matters follow their own conditions.
When water comes the channel forms, so leave it to nature.
Do not sigh that recent years have not gone your way.
A new run of luck arrives and it suits your heart.
What this lot says
This is a lot about letting go of control. The verse says a hundred small things will settle by themselves and that a new season arrives.
It is a lot for the end of a frustrating stretch. It does not ask for effort, only for a loosened grip.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
A red leaf floats down the palace ditch (御溝流紅葉)
According to the account on Wikisource, a lady of the Tang palace wrote a poem on a red leaf and let it float out through the palace ditch. A scholar outside found it and wrote a reply on another leaf, the emperor learned of this, and he let the two marry.

Where this text comes from
This verse is a traditional temple text with no known author. We read it from two named web transcriptions, Chinese Wikisource (the base text) and manekineko.com.tw. Neither is a scan of a printing, the edition behind them is mixed, and we could not establish whether the two are independent of each other.
