Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2008

Previous

2007 Ended August 7, 2007 after 123 days, moving back 9.85° through the zodiac.

Next

2009 Begins June 15, 2009 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.
