Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1904

Previous

1903 Ended October 8, 1903 after 141 days, moving back 6.63° through the zodiac.

Next

1905 Begins June 13, 1905 and runs 140 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.
