Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1909

Previous

1908 Ended March 30, 1908 after 120 days, moving back 10.05° through the zodiac.

Next

1910 Begins January 29, 1910 and runs 123 days.

Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
