Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1959

Previous

1958 Ended June 19, 1958 after 123 days, moving back 9.91° through the zodiac.

Next

1960 Begins April 20, 1960 and runs 122 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.
