Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1900

Previous

1899 Ended August 21, 1899 after 141 days, moving back 6.63° through the zodiac.

Next

1901 Begins April 26, 1901 and runs 141 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.
