Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1966

Previous

1965 Ended January 10, 1965 after 118 days, moving back 10.03° through the zodiac.

Next

1967 Begins December 22, 1967 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.
