Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1971

Previous

1970 Ended June 23, 1970 after 123 days, moving back 9.9° through the zodiac.

Next

1972 Begins April 25, 1972 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.
