A natal Sun trine Uranus is wired into the chart for life — it describes a persistent pattern. A transit trine is temporary: the sky's Sun forming the same angle to your natal Uranus (or vice versa) for a window of days or weeks. The mechanics are the same; the duration and intensity are not.
Standard orbs in modern Western practice run roughly 8° for Sun trine Uranus when the Sun or Moon is involved, 6° otherwise. Tighter aspects (within 2°) read louder; aspects outside 8° tend to fade into the noise of the rest of the chart.
