Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1970

Previous

1969 Ended May 23, 1969 after 123 days, moving back 9.95° through the zodiac.

Next

1971 Begins March 23, 1971 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.
