Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1963

Previous

1962 Ended October 29, 1962 after 119 days, moving back 9.87° through the zodiac.

Next

1964 Begins September 14, 1964 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.
