Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1969

Previous

1968 Ended April 21, 1968 after 122 days, moving back 10.01° through the zodiac.

Next

1970 Begins February 19, 1970 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.
