Uranus, known in Indian astrology as Harshal or Prajapati, is not one of the nine classical grahas, but many modern Vedic astrologers study it as the planet of sudden change, invention, independence and upheaval. Its transits unfold over years and colour whole generations.
This page lists every Uranus transit from 1900 to 2100 in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa used in India.
How Uranus moves through the zodiac
- About seven years in each sign: Uranus takes 84 years to circle the zodiac, so it returns to the same sign roughly once in a lifetime.
- Retrograde for about five months a year: close to a sign boundary this makes Uranus enter, return and enter again, which the table shows as retrograde entries.
- A generational planet: everyone born within a few years shares the same Uranus sign, so its sign matters most for society; its house position in your chart is more personal.

The dates are calculated by MoonAstro's planetary engine using the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa. This planet moves so slowly - sometimes only a few minutes of arc a day - that different ephemerides can place a sign change a few days apart. Treat the dates as a guide to the period, not to the exact day.
How astrologers read a Uranus transit
A transit of Uranus over the sign of your Moon, Ascendant or Sun often coincides with a sudden turn of events - a move, a change of career, new technology entering daily life or a break from old routines. Astrologers who use the outer planets read it from the Moon sign in the same way as the classical planets:
- Over the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th from the Moon: unexpected changes in self, home, partnerships or career.
- Over the 3rd, 6th and 11th: usually constructive - new skills, fresh networks and inventive solutions.
- Over the 8th and 12th: unsettled periods; avoid risky ventures and keep finances flexible.

How long does Uranus stay in one sign?
About seven years, as it takes around 84 years to complete the zodiac.
Why are Vedic Uranus dates different from Western ones?
