Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1929

Previous

1928 Ended August 17, 1928 after 141 days, moving back 6.63° through the zodiac.

Next

1930 Begins April 21, 1930 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.
