Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1984

Previous

1982 Ended May 11, 1982 after 80 days, moving back 18.8° through the zodiac.

Next

1986 Begins June 8, 1986 and runs 64 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.
