Astrology was developed strictly on scientific laws. Backed up by Astronomy
and Maths, Astrology continues to rule as the Queen & Mother of
all Sciences.
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
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!
