Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1985

Previous

1984 Ended August 29, 1984 after 122 days, moving back 9.84° through the zodiac.

Next

1986 Begins July 12, 1986 and runs 119 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.
