The values
Mars’s antiscia degree is 30 degrees – 4 degrees 07 minutes (natal position of Mars) which equals 25 degrees 53 minutes.
Uranus’s position is 25 degrees 22 minutes in Gemini
To recap
Mars: 25: 53 (antiscia)
Uranus: 25: 26 (natal)
This looks like Mars is separating from Uranus, but it is not.
Imagine Mars at 4:17 (assuming Mars is not retrograde) having advanced 10 minutes (assume here that Uranus has not changed position), its antiscia degree is 30 – 4:17 which equals 25 degrees 23 minutes. It’s getting closer, hence applying.

Separating, two days later
Mars’s antiscia degree is 30 degrees – 5 degrees 24 minutes (natal position of Mars) which equals 24 degrees 36 minutes.
Mars: 24 36 (antiscia)
Uranus: 25: 26 (natal)
Again advance Mars by 10 minutes (assume here that Uranus has not changed position), its antiscia degree is 30 – 5:34 which equals 24 degrees 26 minutes. It’s getting further away, hence separating.
Antiscia separating
If Mars was in retrograde motion the antiscia calculations would take this into account.
