Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1957

Previous

1956 Ended July 30, 1956 after 141 days, moving back 6.65° through the zodiac.

Next

1958 Begins April 4, 1958 and runs 141 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.
