The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 1999

Previous

1998 Ended December 29, 1998 after 136 days, moving back 6.86° through the zodiac.

Next

2000 Begins September 12, 2000 and runs 135 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.
