Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1922

Previous

1920 Ended May 31, 1920 after 78 days, moving back 17.85° through the zodiac.

Next

1924 Begins July 24, 1924 and runs 60 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.
