Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2021

Previous

2020 Ended September 13, 2020 after 121 days, moving back 9.83° through the zodiac.

Next

2022 Begins July 28, 2022 and runs 118 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.
