Satya yuga starts in 2012
Age is calculated based on the position of Vernal equinox. Vernal equinox is located in Pisces now. Vernal equinox will move into Aquarius after 360 years. The time taken for Vernal equinox to move from one zodiac to another is not same as rate of precession varies. Vernal equinox takes about 2,160 years to move from one zodiac to another based on present rate of precession. The precessional cycle is about 25920 years based on present rate of precession. The precessional cycle is only 24000 years as per ancient Indian astronomy. One mahayuga is 12,000 years and two mahayuga makes 24,000 years. The current mahayuga started about 9,988 B.C.. Calculation of yuga is based on solstice and not equinox. Mayan calendar is accurate on this account.
