Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 2044

Previous

2043 Ended January 17, 2043 after 157 days, moving back 2.82° through the zodiac.

Next

2045 Begins August 20, 2045 and runs 157 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.

Computed for 2044

Neptune through the zodiac in 2044

Every sign Neptune occupies during 2044, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.

Neptune in Taurus From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

The whole year is spent in one sign — a sign of how slowly Neptune moves.
