Previous

1901 Ended September 14, 1901 after 141 days, moving back 6.61° through the zodiac.

Next

1903 Begins May 20, 1903 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.
