Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1943

Previous

1942 Ended January 23, 1942 after 135 days, moving back 6.92° through the zodiac.

Next

1944 Begins October 23, 1944 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.

Computed for 1943
