Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1957

Previous

1956 Ended April 17, 1956 after 121 days, moving back 10.02° through the zodiac.

Next

1958 Begins February 15, 1958 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.
