Uranus is associated with change, independence, technology and sudden breaks. It is retrograde for about five months every year. Astrologers usually treat this as a slower, more internal phase for changes already under way, rather than a time of fresh disruption.
Retrograde motion is an optical effect: Earth and Uranus move at different speeds, so Uranus appears to drift backward against the stars for a while. Our dates are station times — when the apparent motion reverses — calculated with Astronomy Engine; see the methodology.

Uranus is retrograde once in 2032: Oct 6 – Mar 5 in Cancer and Gemini. The year also opens with the retrograde that began on Oct 2, 2031, ending Feb 29, 2032.
About 146 days in total during 2032; each retrograde lasts 150 days. Including the pre- and post-shadow, each cycle spans roughly 364 days.
The pre-shadow starts when Uranus first reaches the degree where it will turn direct; the post-shadow ends when it passes the degree where it turned retrograde. The dates are in the table above.
A station is one instant worldwide, but its calendar date depends on the time zone. This calendar displays Eastern Time, including daylight-saving changes, and the event cards also show UTC. A station shortly after midnight UTC can fall on the previous date in the Americas. Compare full timestamps before concluding that two calendars disagree.
No. The retrograde phase ends at the direct station. During the post-shadow, Uranus moves direct through the degrees it covered while retrograde, until it passes the earlier retrograde-station longitude. The direct date and post-shadow end date describe different events.
