Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1992

Previous

1991 Ended September 26, 1991 after 160 days, moving back 2.78° through the zodiac.

Next

1993 Begins April 22, 1993 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.
