Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1944

Previous

1943 Ended February 6, 1943 after 134 days, moving back 6.94° through the zodiac.

Next

1945 Begins November 6, 1945 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.
