Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1924

Previous

1922 Ended July 17, 1922 after 70 days, moving back 14.17° through the zodiac.

Next

1926 Begins September 29, 1926 and runs 69 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.
