Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1960

Previous

1959 Ended July 20, 1959 after 123 days, moving back 9.87° through the zodiac.

Next

1961 Begins May 25, 1961 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.
