Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1942

Previous

1941 Ended January 9, 1941 after 135 days, moving back 6.89° through the zodiac.

Next

1943 Begins October 9, 1943 and runs 134 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.
