Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1955

Previous

1954 Ended July 5, 1954 after 159 days, moving back 2.78° through the zodiac.

Next

1956 Begins February 1, 1956 and runs 159 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.
