Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1980

Previous

1979 Ended March 26, 1979 after 120 days, moving back 10.05° through the zodiac.

Next

1981 Begins January 24, 1981 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.
