Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2018

Previous

2017 Ended June 9, 2017 after 123 days, moving back 9.92° through the zodiac.

Next

2019 Begins April 10, 2019 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.
