Station dates
The five moments of the September 2030 Uranus cycle. Both stations are in Gemini. The retrograde lasts 150 days.
| Phase | UTC | Your time | Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-shadow starts | Jun 12, 2030 · 12:10 | UTC only | — |
| Station retrograde | Sep 28, 2030 · 08:27 | UTC only | 22°54′ Gemini |
| Opposition (opposite the Sun) | Dec 12, 2030 · 20:36 | UTC only | 20°52′ Gemini |
| Station direct | Feb 25, 2031 · 11:24 | UTC only | 18°50′ Gemini |
| Post-shadow ends | Jun 12, 2031 · 05:41 | 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.
