Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1954

Previous

1953 Ended June 23, 1953 after 139 days, moving back 6.75° through the zodiac.

Next

1955 Begins March 1, 1955 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.
