Previous

1962 Ended October 9, 1962 after 141 days, moving back 6.64° through the zodiac.

Next

1964 Begins June 15, 1964 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.
