Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1982

Previous

1981 Ended June 5, 1981 after 137 days, moving back 6.79° through the zodiac.

Next

1983 Begins February 12, 1983 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.
