Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1921

Previous

1920 Ended April 4, 1920 after 121 days, moving back 10.04° through the zodiac.

Next

1922 Begins February 2, 1922 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.
