Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1934

Previous

1933 Ended May 19, 1933 after 157 days, moving back 2.79° through the zodiac.

Next

1935 Begins December 19, 1935 and runs 158 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 1934

Neptune through the zodiac in 1934

Every sign Neptune occupies during 1934, 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 Virgo From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

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