Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2020

Previous

2019 Ended August 11, 2019 after 123 days, moving back 9.85° through the zodiac.

Next

2021 Begins June 20, 2021 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.
