Station dates
The five moments of the September 2027 Uranus cycle. Both stations are in Gemini. The retrograde lasts 150 days.
| Phase | UTC | Your time | Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-shadow starts | May 30, 2027 · 03:47 | UTC only | — |
| Station retrograde | Sep 15, 2027 · 09:09 | UTC only | 9°57′ Gemini |
| Opposition (opposite the Sun) | Nov 30, 2027 · 09:22 | UTC only | 7°56′ Gemini |
| Station direct | Feb 12, 2028 · 23:50 | UTC only | 5°56′ Gemini |
| Post-shadow ends | May 29, 2028 · 15:24 | UTC only | — |
The opposition is the minute Uranus stands opposite the Sun in ecliptic longitude, in the middle of the retrograde. Around it Uranus rises at sunset and is up all night. How these are timed.
Signs and degrees
Uranus retraces 4°01′ of the zodiac: it stations retrograde at 9°57′ Gemini and backs up to 5°56′ Gemini before it stations direct. The whole loop stays in Gemini. Uranus first reaches 5°56′ Gemini on May 30, 2027, 108 days before the station, and clears 9°57′ Gemini again on May 29, 2028, 107 days after it turns direct: 365 days on these degrees in all. The opposition falls on day 77 of 150, at 7°56′ Gemini.
The last Uranus retrograde station in Gemini before this one was September 10, 2026 at 18:27 UTC, at 5°42′ Gemini. The next one is September 19, 2028 at 00:01 UTC, at 14°14′ Gemini.
