Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1926

Previous

1925 Ended July 11, 1925 after 140 days, moving back 6.69° through the zodiac.

Next

1927 Begins March 18, 1927 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.
