Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 2011

Previous

2010 Ended November 7, 2010 after 159 days, moving back 2.79° through the zodiac.

Next

2012 Begins June 4, 2012 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.
