Which keys turn in the Contagion cycle, and what is Ra's cross of tension?

Following the same one step back rule, the Vessel keys become 30, 29, 14 and 8, the Right Angle Cross of Contagion, and the Sphinx keys become 38, 39, 48 and 21, the gates of the Right Angle Cross of Tension. Ra refers to both when he walks through that era. He points to the 38 as the new key of the Witness lock and to the 38 and 39 as a special polarity, and he says that in terms of direction the program enters a cycle of tension and control. He also singles out the 14 as the new key to the Nature lock, Gate 10, and says the 14 matters enormously to the Rave because it fuels the energy of the penta, adding that the 14 and the 8 are keys in penta. Ra gives most of this detail only once, so treat the Tension part as Ra's single reading, while the Contagion gates themselves are well established.

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.
