Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1943

Previous

1942 Ended June 8, 1942 after 158 days, moving back 2.79° through the zodiac.

Next

1944 Begins January 6, 1944 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.
