Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1984

Previous

1983 Ended July 1, 1983 after 139 days, moving back 6.71° through the zodiac.

Next

1985 Begins March 7, 1985 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.
