Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1938

Previous

1937 Ended September 13, 1937 after 121 days, moving back 9.84° through the zodiac.

Next

1939 Begins July 29, 1939 and runs 118 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.
