Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2033

Previous

2031 Ended June 13, 2031 after 76 days, moving back 17.2° through the zodiac.

Next

2035 Begins August 15, 2035 and runs 61 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.
