Tara Mata makes this interesting assessment on the ‘24,000 years for one circuit’
The great sages of ancient India, whose knowledge of astronomy has not been surpassed by any modern nation, claimed that by the phenomena of procession the equinoctial points our sun would take 24,000 years to complete one circuit around the zodiac of the constellations modern science tells us that the present rate per session is 50.1” yearly or 1° 0 “ in 72 years at that rate it would take not 24,000 but 25,920 years for the vernal equinox to make one whole circle of the zodiac of the constellations and return we need given starting point or fix time however there is no proof that the present rate a procession or 50.1” yearly is constant, and the ancients claimed that at the certain stages Of the cycle the rate a procession is slightly more rapid than that other stages this theory receive proof from the calculations of the greatest astronomer Hipparchus (146 yearsBC) who gave the rate of precession at that time of his observations as 50–2/3”,or a rate somewhat faster than at present. We therefore have no scientific reason to deny that the ancient Hindu astronomers were correct in giving 24,000 years, as the time which would elapse between one coincidence of vernal equinox with any fixed star and it’s next exact coincidence with the same star.
~Tara Mata
The next question we should ask is this. Does the wobble of the earth also change to a faster speed as well in its motion to account for a 24,000 year cycle or a 25,920 cycle? And, are we more likely to give this orbital change in speed to the motion of our solar system through space or to the movement fluctuations in the earths wobble?
What would be most likely to effect changes of speed in precession? The curve of our solar system though space or the wobble taking place that changes the earths position with respect to fixed stars?

https://socratic.org/questions/what-causes-the-precession-cycle-or-earth-do-other-planets-experience-this-type-What factors cause precession on other planets? Can we say that all precession is caused by gravity? Or perhaps Tara Mata had a point we she explained like Sri Yukteswar that this so called pull is the pull of another object or force in the sky which has yet to be determined by science. It is without a doubt that something is happening to our Sun that we do not understand otherwise we would not have leap year every four years to make up for our awkward calendar.
Gregorian calendar
The Gregorian calendar, the calendar system we use today, was first introduced in 1582. To make up for the inaccuracies of its predecessor, the Julian calendar, a number of days had to be skipped. The Gregorian calendar, also known as the Western or Christian calendar, is the most widely used calendar in the world today.

www.timeanddate.com/calendar/julian-gregorian-switch.htmlLike Sri Yukteswar before her, Tara Mata advocated using ‘star time’ rather than calendars which are created by humans and must be adjusted periodically. An interesting commentary on her outlook, about the measurement of time follows below;
