Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1941

Previous

1939 Ended August 23, 1939 after 62 days, moving back 10.79° through the zodiac.

Next

1943 Begins October 28, 1943 and runs 74 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.
