Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1940

Previous

1939 Ended November 24, 1939 after 118 days, moving back 9.92° through the zodiac.

Next

1941 Begins October 10, 1941 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.
