Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1939

Previous

1938 Ended October 19, 1938 after 120 days, moving back 9.86° through the zodiac.

Next

1940 Begins September 4, 1940 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.
