Station dates
The five moments of the September 2029 Uranus cycle. Both stations are in Gemini. The retrograde lasts 150 days.
| Phase | UTC | Your time | Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-shadow starts | Jun 7, 2029 · 16:27 | UTC only | — |
| Station retrograde | Sep 23, 2029 · 16:22 | UTC only | 18°33′ Gemini |
| Opposition (opposite the Sun) | Dec 8, 2029 · 08:11 | UTC only | 16°31′ Gemini |
