Uranus in the birth chart: every sign and house, with exact dates from our chart engine

Uranus at a glance

How to use this page. Find your Uranus sign in the table inside each sign section, using your birth year. Your Uranus house needs an accurate birth time (why). Then read Uranus in Gemini now to see where the current transit falls in your chart, your Uranus cycle ages, and the aspects.

Four things that change how Uranus works in your chart:

1. Angularity. Uranus near the Ascendant, IC, Descendant or MC (within 8°) makes its independence a visible part of your personality, home, relationships or career.
2. Aspects to the Sun, Moon and Mercury. Uranus contacts to your personal planets turn a generational signature into a personal one. See the Sun–Uranus and Moon–Uranus sections.
3. Rulership. Modern astrology gives Uranus rulership of Aquarius. Where Aquarius falls in your chart, and any planets there, carry Uranian themes.
4. Retrograde. Uranus is retrograde for 41.2% of the time, so a retrograde Uranus is very common and usually read as rebellion that works inwardly first.

Uranus in the signs

Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so its sign describes your generation's revolution: what people born in those years want to change, invent or break free from. Read it alongside your Uranus house and aspects for the personal picture. Each sign section shows the two passages between 1900 and 2100 with the engine's exact dates, including the retrograde dips back into the previous sign.

Uranus retrograde

Will Uranus be retrograde in 2026? Yes. Uranus is retrograde every year, for about 152.1 days at a time. In 2026 it turned retrograde on 10 Sep 2026 at 5°42' Gemini and turns direct on 8 Feb 2027 at 1°41' Gemini. Astrologers read the retrograde as a time when the changes Uranus has started are processed inwardly before the next push forward.

Ephemeris facts. The engine records 199 Uranus retrograde periods between 1900 and 2100, each lasting 149–154.3 days and starting every 369.6 days on average, so Uranus is retrograde 41.2% of the time. The previous one ran 6 Sep 2025 to 4 Feb 2026 (1°28' Gemini back to 27°28' Taurus); the next runs 15 Sep 2027 to 12 Feb 2028 (9°57' Gemini back to 5°56' Gemini).

• What's going on with Uranus right now in astrology? It is settling into Gemini after leaving Taurus, retrograde until 8 Feb 2027 at 1°41' Gemini, sextile Neptune and trine Pluto: a period of technological and intellectual change. Your personal timing is in your timing report.

Your Uranus cycle: square, opposition and return

Uranus takes 83.68 years on average to return to the same sign, so its cycle marks the big turning points of a lifetime. The ages are the range of exact hits our chart engine finds for people born at 12:00 UT on 1 January of every fifth year from 1915 to 2020:

• Uranus square Uranus (ages 18.9–23.1). Breaking away from family expectations and finding your own direction.
• Uranus opposite Uranus (ages 38.9–45.3). The classic "midlife crisis": a sudden urge for freedom and change, and a reckoning with the life you have built. Uranus's retrograde loops mean the opposition is usually exact more than once.
• Uranus square Uranus again (ages 60.1–65.5). Freedom in later life, often around retirement.
• Uranus return (ages 82.4–84.7). A rare full circle, reached only by those who live into their eighties.

The table gives the first and last exact hit of each transit, and the number of exact hits, for every tenth birth year.

What happens when Uranus transits opposite my natal Uranus? The midlife opposition brings restlessness, sudden change and a strong wish to live more authentically. People change careers, relationships or locations, or take up something they always wanted to do. In the sample births it perfects 3 times as Uranus loops back and forth, 0.7–0.8 years from first to last exact hit.

Uranus and the lunar nodes

What does it mean when the North Node is conjunct Uranus in a natal chart? It means your path of growth runs through independence, innovation and breaking with the past. You may feel destined to do something unconventional, and you grow by embracing change rather than resisting it. In synastry, one person's North Node on the other's Uranus brings sudden, life-changing meetings.

Ephemeris facts. The mean node meets Uranus about every 15.24 years: most recently on 26 Jul 2022 at 18°35' Taurus. The next opposition is on 19 May 2030.

Uranus in compatibility and synastry

In synastry, Uranus brings excitement, attraction and unpredictability. One person's Uranus on the other's Sun, Moon, Venus or Ascendant creates instant fascination and a feeling of being woken up, but also instability; it works best for couples who value freedom. Uranus conjunct Uranus in synastry simply means you were born within a few years of each other and share a generational outlook. North Node conjunct Uranus in synastry brings sudden, fated-feeling meetings that change direction for both people.

Vedic note: Uranus in sidereal astrology

Classical Vedic (Jyotish) astrology uses only the seven visible planets and the lunar nodes, so Uranus has no traditional dignities, dasha or rulership. Some modern Jyotish astrologers do read Uranus transits, using the sidereal zodiac, offset on 8 Oct 2026 by 24.23° (Lahiri ayanamsa): Uranus was at 11°09' Taurus sidereal while it was in Gemini tropically. In sidereal terms Uranus is still in Taurus, so a "Uranus in Gemini" transit in Vedic astrology comes years later.

Sources and method

• Positions and dates: every astronomical figure on this page comes from Astrology-API.io v3, the chart engine behind natalblueprint.com, queried in October 2026 with our report settings: tropical zodiac, geocentric apparent positions, Placidus houses, mean lunar node, UT. Uranus sign changes, stations and retrograde periods use its mundane-events search (1900–2100), cross-checked against each other; exact Uranus aspect dates use its aspect-passages search (1900–2100); today's and sidereal positions use its global-positions data. Averages, ranges and counts are simple arithmetic on those dates. Transit-to-natal dates and ages (your Uranus square, opposition and return) are exact hits from the engine's natal-transit search for sample births at 12:00 UT on 1 January of every fifth year from 1915 to 2020; an age is simply the time from that birth to the exact hit, and nothing is interpolated.
