Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1952

Previous

1950 Ended May 3, 1950 after 80 days, moving back 19.03° through the zodiac.

Next

1954 Begins May 23, 1954 and runs 67 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.
