Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mercury retrogrades either side of 2036

2035 Ended 5 October 2035 after 22 days, moving back 14.83° through the zodiac.

2037 Begins 15 December 2036 and runs 20 days.

Gap across 2036

1.2 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.
