Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1901

Previous

1899 Ended March 5, 1900 after 157 days, moving back 2.82° through the zodiac.

Next

1902 Begins October 7, 1902 and runs 156 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.

Computed for 1901

Neptune through the zodiac in 1901

Every sign Neptune occupies during 1901, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
