The revolution of Uranus would be 84 years because it takes Uranus 84 years to make one full trip around the zodiac. Tomorrow for example, Uranus will enter Taurus permanently for about 7 years; the last time it was in Taurus was 1942 (it stayed in Taurus from 1932-1942 including when it retrograded back into Aries at the beginning of its stay in Taurus as it does whenever it enters a new sign). Is this a correct understanding of a revolution and rotation or am I only thinking of it astrologically? I've found myself trying to understand astronomy through the lens of astrology and I haven't failed myself yet.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#F4D5F0"><TD valign=top>Randall</TD><TD>Try asking this in Astrology 2.0 also.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#FAEBF8"><TD valign=top>Randall</TD><TD>Bump!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#F4D5F0"><TD valign=top>Randall</TD><TD>Bump!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#FAEBF8"><TD valign=top>Graham</TD><TD> My understanding is that planets rotate around their own axis and revolve around another planet.
