Astro Cycles Theory
Long Astro Cycles have fascinated mankind. This is the Vedic perspective of Astro Cycles.
The Vernal Equinoctial Point was found to precede one degree in every 72 years. Hence as one Zodiacal Sign is 30 degrees in length, 2160 years is the duration of an Age Cycle. We are at the moment undergoing the Piscean Age which will give way to the Aquarian in 2444 AD. It is called the Piscean Age because the Vernal Equinoctial Point is passing through Pisces and is at the moment 06 degrees 40 minutes 24 seconds in Pisces.
Age Cycle ( 72*30) = 2160 years
Precessional Cycle (72*360) = 25920 years ( as the Zodiac is 360 degrees )
Equinoctial Cycle (2000*2160) = 43,20000 years
Cosmological Cycle 2 million * 2160 ) = 4.32 billion years

Numerology of Cosmological Cycles
For all these numbers, you will get 9 as the Fadic Number
If you take the numbers and add all digits
2160 = 2+1+6+0, you get 9
72 = 7 +2 = 9
360 = 3+6+0 = 9
25920 = 2+5+9+2+0 = 18 = 1+8 = 9
432 = 4+3+2 = 9

One Cosmological Cycle ( Brahma Kalpa) was considered to be one
Brahma Day and another 4.32 billion years was considered to be
one Brahma Night. One Cosmological Cycle was one thousand
Equinoctial Cycles ( Chatur Yugas) or 2 million Age Cycles!
The Vedic Calendar - Based on Equinoctial Cycles
An Equinoctial Cycle comprises of 4 Ages.
Satya Yuga = 800 Age Cycles
Threta Yuga = 600 Age Cycles
Dwapara Yuga = 400 Age Cycles
Kali Yuga = 200 Age Cycles

Maha Yuga = 2000 Age Cycles
