Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 2038

Previous

2037 Ended 6 January 2038 after 158 days, moving back 2.82° through the zodiac.

Next

2039 Begins 22 November 2038 and runs 48 days.

Gap across 2038

0.9 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.
