Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1948

Previous

1947 Ended July 15, 1947 after 123 days, moving back 9.87° through the zodiac.

Next

1949 Begins May 20, 1949 and runs 121 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.
