Previous

1951 Ended May 29, 1951 after 137 days, moving back 6.82° through the zodiac.

Next

1953 Begins February 5, 1953 and runs 139 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.
