Guan Di lot 92 of 100
A poor harvest and high prices
Lowest (下下, 癸乙). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 癸乙 is from manekineko.com.tw.
今年禾穀不如前
物價喧騰倍百年
災數流行多疫癘
一陽復後始安全
This year's grain is not as good as before.
Prices rise in an uproar, double what they were in a hundred years.
Disaster spreads and many fall ill.
Only after the one yang returns will things be safe.
What this lot says
This is a lot about a hard year. The verse names poor harvests, high prices and sickness, and places relief after the winter turn.
If your question is about health, see a qualified professional. The verse describes a hard year and says nothing about how any illness will go.
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
Emperor Gaozu governs the people of Han (高祖治漢民)
According to the account on Wikisource, when Liu Bang entered the Guanzhong region he told the elders that Qin's harsh laws had been hard on them, and promised them a simple code of three rules: death for killing, and punishment for injury and theft. The account says the people were put at ease by it.

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.
