Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1957

Previous

1956 Ended July 9, 1956 after 159 days, moving back 2.78° through the zodiac.

Next

1958 Begins February 5, 1958 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.
