Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1908

Previous

1907 Ended March 22, 1907 after 156 days, moving back 2.81° through the zodiac.

Next

1909 Begins October 23, 1909 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 1908

Neptune through the zodiac in 1908

Every sign Neptune occupies during 1908, 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.

Neptune in Cancer From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

The whole year is spent in one sign — a sign of how slowly Neptune moves.
