Uranus conjunct natal Sun
♅ ☌ ☉ — transiting Uranus on the exact degree of your natal Sun.
Uranus conjunct natal Sun is the period when transiting Uranus sits within 3° of the Sun's exact degree in your birth chart. It comes round once every 84 years for a given degree, so nobody gets two; and 95% of the time it perfects three times rather than once, spreading a median 141-day window across as much as 400 days.

Without JavaScript, or before the calculator loads, the table below is the answer at Sun-sign resolution. Your own window is a slice of your sign's band: the band is when the contact reaches some degree of your sign, your window is when it reaches yours.
| Your Sun sign | Status | Window (3° orb) | Branch | Then |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | beyond 2065 | 2093–2103 (year resolution) | waxing | — |
| Taurus | in orb now | 1 Jan 2020 → 5 Apr 2027 (split by a retrograde) | waxing | — |
| Gemini | in orb now | 8 Aug 2024 → 26 Apr 2034 (split by a retrograde) | waxing | — |

Each window is the contiguous period in which transiting Uranus is within 3° of conjunction to any degree of that sign. Waxing = Uranus ahead of the Sun's degree; waning = behind.
What the contact means
The triple-crossing planet
Of every body in the Tier-1 set, Uranus is the one whose contacts almost never resolve in a single pass: 463 of 488 decidable contacts perfected three times against 25 that perfected once. The mechanism is a ratio. Uranus advances roughly four degrees a year and its retrograde loop retraces about four — so once the body is inside orb of a contact, the loop is almost always wide enough to carry it back across. That is why a Uranus contact reads as a season with three landmarks in it rather than as a date, and why quoting one exact date for it is close to always wrong.
Once per lifetime, at most
Uranus needs a median 83.9 years to return to a given zodiac degree — 443 intervals measured on 1801-01-01–2398-01-01, weekly lattice, in a narrow 83.1–84 band because the orbit is close to circular. Since that is longer than most lives, the conjunction to your Sun happens once if it happens at all, and whether it does is settled by where your Sun sits relative to the arc Uranus crosses while you are alive. The cohort table answers that directly.
What a conjunction is
Zero separation. The tradition reads the transiting body and the natal point as fused rather than related — the principle operating from inside the point's own degree, not addressing it from across the chart. That is also why conjunctions are read as cycle openings: the squares and the opposition that follow over the next eighty-four years are, classically, later chapters of what this contact began. In practice, for Uranus, there are no later chapters within one life.
What Uranus contributes
Uranus is the tradition's principle of deviation: the sudden, the unassimilated, the thing that does not fit the existing arrangement. Where Saturn asks what will hold, Uranus asks what the arrangement was for. It is read as liberation or as disruption depending on the writer, and the honest thing to say is that the geometry does not decide between those two readings — it marks a window in which the question is live.
What the Sun contributes
The Sun stands for vitality and deliberate will — the point a chart is built around, not one of the rooms in it. Because the conjunction has no distance in it, the classical reading is not of something happening to the self from outside but of the principle of deviation temporarily occupying the self's own position — which is why the literature treats this as one of the defining contacts of a life rather than as an episode. It is also why the duration is the number that matters: a p90 of 390 days is the better part of a year.
Where the page stops
Cosmic KPI dates the window and the crossings and measures the surrounding sky. No arrangement of Uranus and the Sun corresponds to a specific outcome, and this page does not supply one.
How this transit appears in Cosmic KPI
A three-crossing contact is the clearest argument for a timeline over a calendar entry: the pressure curve shows one raised shelf with three peaks, which is the true shape, where three separate diary entries would imply three separate events. The terminal reports which crossing is current and whether the orb is closing.

Common questions
- How often is Uranus conjunct the Sun?
- Once every 84 years for a fixed degree — median 83.9, range 83.1–84 across 443 intervals. Longer than a lifetime, so nobody receives it twice and most charts never receive it.
- How many times is Uranus conjunct Sun exact?
- Three times in 95% of cases — 463 of 488 decidable contacts — and once in the rest. Never twice. Uranus retraces about as much ground in a retrograde loop as it covers in a year of forward motion, so the loop nearly always catches a contact it has just made.
- How long does Uranus conjunct Sun last?
- A median 141 days inside the 3° envelope, 69–390 for 80% of windows, and up to 400 days for a three-crossing passage. Measured over 114 windows on 2020-01-01–2065-01-01, daily lattice.
- Is Uranus conjunct my Sun now?
- Uranus sits at 5.5° Gemini on 2026-08-24. A conjunction needs your Sun within three degrees of that, which is a narrow target — the table gives dated windows for the signs in reach and year-resolution estimates for the ones further out than the daily baseline goes.
