Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1962

Previous

1961 Ended July 20, 1961 after 159 days, moving back 2.77° through the zodiac.

Next

1963 Begins February 16, 1963 and runs 160 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.
