Did Ra name the cycle before 1615 after all? I found a mention of a Cross of Consciousness era.

Yes, once. While talking about the star Antares, Ra says the era that preceded Planning, which began around 1615, was the era of Consciousness, and he mentions the 64th and 63rd gates in the context of that larger cycle, describing a time of deep social confusion, turmoil and suffering. That fits the mechanics: the precession moves backward through the wheel, and the gate just ahead of 37 in the wheel's order is 63, the gate of the Right Angle Cross of Consciousness, 63/64 and 5/35. So the cycle before Planning would have run on that cross. It is still something he says only once, in passing, not when he explains the Global Cycles themselves. Treat Consciousness as Ra's one explicit statement, consistent with the wheel, and not as a detailed account of that era.

This is not a fact, not medical advice and not a promise of healing. It is part of the cosmology Ra Uru Hu, who founded Human Design, left behind, and nobody knows exactly how it will unfold.
