How to interpret the result
With Uranus, the useful question is how long a contact has been in range, not what it says today. Constructed example: natal Venus at 20 Scorpio, transiting Uranus at 16 Taurus, an opposition with a 4.00 orb. Uranus covers only about four degrees a year on average and turns retrograde for several months each year, so the 12-degree opposition range can stay active for close to three years.
