Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1983

Previous

1982 Ended June 27, 1982 after 124 days, moving back 9.89° through the zodiac.

Next

1984 Begins April 29, 1984 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.
