Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1918

Previous

1917 Ended March 26, 1917 after 134 days, moving back 6.95° through the zodiac.

Next

1919 Begins December 23, 1919 and runs 136 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 1918

Saturn through the zodiac in 1918

Every sign Saturn occupies during 1918, 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.

Saturn in Leo From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

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