Previous

1932 Ended October 2, 1932 after 141 days, moving back 6.64° through the zodiac.

Next

1934 Begins June 8, 1934 and runs 140 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.
