Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1917

Previous

1916 Ended March 11, 1916 after 134 days, moving back 6.96° through the zodiac.

Next

1918 Begins December 9, 1918 and runs 135 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 1917
