Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1919

Previous

1918 Ended April 9, 1918 after 134 days, moving back 6.93° through the zodiac.

Next

1921 Begins January 4, 1921 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.
