Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1996

Previous

1995 Ended August 2, 1995 after 123 days, moving back 9.85° through the zodiac.

Next

1997 Begins June 10, 1997 and runs 120 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.
