In the Vishnu Purana there is a text as follows:

"When the sun and moon and Tishya and the planet Jupiter are all in one mansion, the Krita age shall return".

Tishya is Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, which is found just to the edge (to the right of) the Pleiades, which are both in the vicinity of the constellation of Taurus, which currently is rising around midnight UTC at the moment.

Sun and moon together means on or close to a new moon, if it is exact, it is the exact new moon and the moon will be pretty much invisible. Because it must obviously happen in Taurus, it will be april-may, and this specification is pretty precise, it's basically saying the dark moon, the brightest star, and the second brightest (orangish) planet jupiter (venus is the brightest) all have to be very close to the right-hand edge of Taurus.

I wonder if there is any place I can easily determine when this will occur. The angle of Sirius is fixed to that part of the sky, it moves around in a spiral pattern over very long time periods and stays around the edge of taurus as we see it.

This is a pretty full on celestial event too. Sun on one side, and on the other, in order of distance, moon, jupiter and 8 lightyears onwards, Sirius.

I will need to find out when this is going to be. I'm betting it's in 2028 or near abouts.
