Uranus retrograde 2032: dates, degrees and what it means for each sign
Everything about Uranus retrograde in 2032 in one place: the exact station dates and degrees, the shadow periods, which other planets are retrograde at the same time, and a reading with practical advice for each of the twelve signs.
In 2032 Uranus is retrograde until March 1 and again from October 6 to March 5, 2033. The retrograde of Oct 6, 2032 – Mar 5, 2033 runs from 1°40′ Cancer, backs into Gemini on December 12 to 27°36′ Gemini. Astrologers read it as a time to review change, freedom, disruption and what you have outgrown.
Uranus retrograde 2032: the dates
- October 3, 2031 – March 1, 2032 (149 days). Uranus stations retrograde on October 3, 2031 at about 02:30 UTC, at 27°16′ Gemini (the evening of October 2 in US time zones). Uranus stations direct on March 1, 2032 at about 01:30 UTC, at 23°12′ Gemini (the evening of February 29 in US time zones). Most of this retrograde falls in 2031; its reading for each sign is in Uranus retrograde 2031.
- October 6, 2032 – March 5, 2033 (149 days). Uranus stations retrograde on October 6, 2032 at about 20:00 UTC, at 1°40′ Cancer, backs into Gemini on December 12. Uranus stations direct on March 5, 2033 at about 14:30 UTC, at 27°36′ Gemini.
Uranus is retrograde once a year, for about five months. Compared with the previous retrograde (Oct 3, 2031 – Mar 1, 2032), this one begins about 4° further along the zodiac, now in Cancer instead of Gemini.
Times are UTC. Nothing reverses in space: retrograde motion is the apparent backward drift a planet shows when Earth overtakes it (or, for Mercury and Venus, when the planet overtakes Earth).
Uranus retrograde 2032: all dates
| Retrograde (UTC dates) | From | To | Shadow period | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 3, 2031 – Mar 1, 2032 | 27° Gemini | 23° Gemini | Jun 17, 2031 – Jun 15, 2032 | 149 days |
| Oct 6, 2032 – Mar 5, 2033 | 1° Cancer | 27° Gemini | Jun 21, 2032 – Jun 20, 2033 | 149 days |
Computed from NASA JPL Horizons (geocentric positions in the tropical zodiac). The shadow period runs from the day the planet first crosses the degree where it will turn direct to the day it passes the degree where it turned retrograde.
Uranus retrograde Oct 6, 2032 – Mar 5, 2033: key dates
| Date (UTC) | What happens |
|---|---|
| Jun 21, 2032 | Pre-retrograde shadow begins: Uranus first crosses 27°36′ Gemini, the degree where it will later turn direct |
| Oct 6, 2032, about 20:00 UTC | Uranus stations retrograde at 1°40′ Cancer |
| Dec 12, 2032 | Uranus backs out of Cancer into Gemini |
| Dec 20, 2032 | Opposition: Uranus is opposite the Sun at 29° Gemini, closest to Earth and visible all night; the midpoint of the retrograde |
| Mar 5, 2033, about 14:30 UTC | Uranus stations direct at 27°36′ Gemini |
| May 22, 2033 | Uranus re-enters Cancer, moving forward |
| Jun 20, 2033 | Post-retrograde shadow ends: Uranus passes 1°40′ Cancer again and covers new ground |
Computed from NASA JPL Horizons. A station in the first hours of a UTC day falls on the previous evening in the Americas. Uranus is almost motionless around a station, so the time is given to the nearest 30 minutes; the date is firm.
What else is retrograde at the same time
Retrogrades overlap, and astrologers read them together. These planets are also retrograde during at least part of each period:
- Oct 6, 2032 – Mar 5, 2033: Mercury (Nov 2 – Nov 22, 2032), Mercury (Feb 18 – Mar 13, 2033), Venus (Feb 27 – Apr 10, 2033), Saturn (Oct 18, 2032 – Mar 1, 2033), Neptune (Jul 20 – Dec 25, 2032), Pluto (May 15 – Oct 25, 2032).
The whole year is on the retrograde calendar 2032.
What Uranus retrograde means in 2032
In astrology Uranus stands for change, freedom, disruption and what you have outgrown. Uranus retrograde is read as change moving inside: outer shake-ups slow down and you work out what the last one actually changed. In Cancer the subject is home, family, belonging and emotional security. In Gemini the subject is information, conversation, learning and a restless mind.
Who notices it most. For Oct 6, 2032 – Mar 5, 2033 astrologers look first at people with the Sun, Moon, rising sign or personal planets from 27° Gemini to 1° Cancer, and at the matching degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, Aries, Libra and Capricorn. Everyone else can read it through the house it falls in, below.
What to do
Integrate the changes of the past year before forcing new ones, and test an unconventional idea quietly. Sudden dramatic exits tend to go better once Uranus is direct. The longer guide, with the astronomy and the reading of a natal Uranus retrograde, is on the Uranus retrograde page.
Uranus retrograde Oct 6, 2032 – Mar 5, 2033 for each sign
Read your rising sign first if you know it, since it sets the houses; then your Sun sign. Houses are counted from your sign in whole-sign style. The birthdays show whose Sun the retrograde touches directly: Uranus covers 27° Gemini to 1° Cancer, and the Sun moves about one degree a day, so the dates are approximate.
Aries: 4th house, then 3rd
Until Dec 12 (Cancer), 4th house: home, family, roots and where you live. Changes at home or in the family: a move, a new arrangement, less attachment to the past. What to do: make your living situation more flexible before you uproot it.
From Dec 12 (Gemini), 3rd house: communication, learning, siblings and short trips. Restless thinking, changing opinions, new tools and a different way of learning. What to do: give an unconventional idea a quiet trial, and cut the information overload.
Strongest for Aries born around March 20–22 (Sun at 0°–1°): Uranus squares your Sun. Easier for Aries born around April 17–20 (Sun at 27°–29°): Uranus sextiles your Sun.
Taurus: 3rd house, then 2nd
Until Dec 12 (Cancer), 3rd house: communication, learning, siblings and short trips. Restless thinking, changing opinions, new tools and a different way of learning. What to do: give an unconventional idea a quiet trial, and cut the information overload.
