Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 2027

Previous

2026 Ended December 12, 2026 after 158 days, moving back 2.81° through the zodiac.

Next

2028 Begins July 11, 2028 and runs 158 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.
