Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1947

Previous

1946 Ended June 17, 1946 after 158 days, moving back 2.78° through the zodiac.

Next

1948 Begins January 14, 1948 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.
