Uranus and Neptune Signs: Find Yours by Birth Date, 1900 to 2100

Your Uranus sign and Neptune sign come from your birth date: Uranus stays in a sign for about 7 years and Neptune for about 14, so everyone born in the same few years shares them. Right now Uranus is in Gemini (since April 25, 2026, until May 22, 2033) and Neptune is in Aries (since January 26, 2026, until March 2039).

Where Uranus and Neptune are now

Uranus entered Gemini for the first time on July 7, 2025, moved back into Taurus on November 7, 2025, and entered Gemini for good on April 25, 2026. It first enters Cancer on August 3, 2032, dips back into Gemini on December 12, 2032 and leaves Gemini for good on May 22, 2033 (see the dip table). Neptune is in Aries after the same kind of back-and-forth: it entered Aries on March 30, 2025, slipped back into Pisces on October 22, 2025 and crossed into Aries for good on January 26, 2026. It stays there until 2038, first entering Taurus on May 21, 2038 and finally leaving on March 23, 2039. Pluto, the third generational planet, is in Aquarius until 2044; our guide to Pluto in Aquarius has its dates. All times in this guide are US Eastern, calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris, the reference behind professional astrology software.

Uranus sign by birth date, 1912 to 2094

Find your birth date in the “From” and “To” columns. “From” is the first time Uranus enters the sign and “To” is the first time it leaves for the next one. If your birthday falls in the 9 to 12 months after “To,” the planet may have dipped back into the earlier sign, so check the dip table below.

Neptune sign by birth date, 1901 to 2092

The retrograde dips: exact dates

Seen from Earth, every planet sometimes appears to move backward. For Uranus and Neptune the backward stretch happens each year, so when a planet is close to a sign boundary it can cross, dip back and cross again. During the dip, the sign for anyone born in the window is the earlier one. The windows below list when the planet moved back and when it finally entered the new sign, so you can tell which sign you have if you were born in them:

One example from the table: someone born on August 1, 1998 has Neptune in Aquarius, because it entered Aquarius for the first time on January 28, 1998, dipped back into Capricorn on August 22, 1998 and re-entered Aquarius on November 27, 1998; someone born on October 1, 1998 has Neptune in Capricorn. Our own Stellium Calculator and Birth Chart calculator show your exact positions and handle these boundary dates for you.

Why Uranus and Neptune change sign at different speeds

Uranus has a sidereal orbit of 84.01 years and Neptune 164.79 years, according to NASA’s planetary fact sheets, so Neptune spends about twice as long in each sign. The stay is not the same in every sign, because orbits are ovals, not circles, and a planet moves faster when it is closer to the Sun. Uranus’s orbit has an eccentricity of 0.0469, with its distance from the Sun ranging from 18.6 AU at perihelion to 19.7 AU at aphelion, and in our calculation that shows up as a pattern: Averaged over its visits from 1912 to 2095, Uranus spends 6.2 years in Leo and Scorpio and about 6.5 in Virgo and Libra, but 7.5 to 7.7 in Pisces, Aries and Aquarius. Neptune’s orbit is almost circular (eccentricity 0.0097), so its stays vary only from 13.1 to 14.0 years.

The same logic explains why two people born seven years apart usually have Uranus in neighbouring signs, but not always: a seven-year gap can stay inside one sign during the slow stretch through Aquarius, Pisces and Aries.

What each Uranus and Neptune sign is traditionally read as

Astrologers read Uranus as the planet of change, independence and disruption, and Neptune as the planet of imagination, ideals and dissolving boundaries, and they read the sign as the style in which a whole generation expresses that. These are traditional associations, not measured traits, and neither planet was known to ancient astrologers, so there is no classical text for them. For the personal planets, see our guides to Venus and Mars; for the slower ones, Jupiter and Saturn.

How many people share your sign

Because these planets move so slowly, everyone in your age group shares your signs. Using the Swiss Ephemeris for every date of the 85.4 million US births from 1994 to 2014 (CDC/NCHS and Social Security Administration data via FiveThirtyEight):

So about two in three young Americans have Neptune in Aquarius, and nearly everyone born in those twenty-one years has Uranus in Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces or Aries. A sign shared by that many people can’t say anything about one person, which is why astrologers read these planets through the house they fall in and through aspects to your personal planets, as in our guide to the twelve houses.

Uranus and Neptune milestones by age

Astrologers also read the moments when Uranus or Neptune returns to a significant angle of its birth position. We calculated the age at which each happens for 46 birth years from 1900 to 1945:

Uranus’s age varies by several years because of its uneven speed, while Neptune’s square is almost the same for everyone, 40.4 years. A Neptune return takes 164.8 years, longer than a lifetime. In the NASA Neptune fact page’s words:

“In 2011 Neptune completed its first 165-year orbit since its discovery in 1846.”

Compare the other returns on this site: the Saturn return comes at 28.4 to 29.9 and the solar return yearly.

How Uranus and Neptune were found

Neither planet was known to ancient astrologers. According to NASA, Uranus was “discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel,” who at first believed it was “either a comet or a star.” Neptune was found after mathematics predicted it: NASA credits Urbain Le Verrier, who “proposed the position and mass of a then-unknown planet” to explain changes in Uranus’s orbit, and Johann Gottfried Galle, who found Neptune at the Berlin Observatory on his first night of searching in 1846. That is why astrologers treat both as “modern” planets with no classical rulership; see our essential dignities guide for the planets that do.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my Uranus sign?+

Find your birth date in the Uranus table above. Uranus stays in a sign for 6 to 8 years, so most birth dates give an easy answer; if you were born within a year of a sign change, check the dip table, or use our Birth Chart or Stellium calculator.

What is my Neptune sign?+

Look up your birth date in the Neptune table. Neptune spends 13 to 14 years in each sign, so people born within a decade and a half of each other usually share it. Of US births from 1994 to 2014, 64.9% have Neptune in Aquarius.

What sign is Uranus in right now?+

Gemini. Uranus entered Gemini for good on April 25, 2026 and stays until May 22, 2033, after briefly entering it on July 7, 2025 and dipping back into Taurus on November 7, 2025.

What sign is Neptune in right now?+

Aries. Neptune entered Aries for good on January 26, 2026 and stays until March 2039. It first entered Aries on March 30, 2025 and dipped back into Pisces from October 22, 2025.

How long does Uranus stay in each sign?+

About 7 years on average. In our Swiss Ephemeris calculation a single stay runs from 6.2 years (Leo, Scorpio) to 8.0 years (Pisces, Aries, Aquarius). A full trip around the zodiac takes about 84 years.

How long does Neptune stay in each sign?+

About 14 years: between 13.1 and 14.0 years in our calculation. Neptune takes 164.8 years to go around the zodiac once.

When is the Uranus opposition, and at what age?+

Between ages 38.7 and 44.5, about 42 on average (41.8), in our calculation for people born from 1900 to 1945. The Uranus square comes at about 22, and Uranus completes a return at about 84.

Does the Uranus or Neptune sign describe my personality?+

Not in the way your Sun or Moon sign is read. Everyone born within 7 or 14 years shares these signs, so astrologers read them as generational themes and look at the house and the aspects to your personal planets for anything individual. No controlled study has found that astrological signs predict personality or events.
