Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2005

Previous

2004 Ended March 7, 2004 after 134 days, moving back 6.95° through the zodiac.

Next

2006 Begins December 6, 2006 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.

Computed for 2005
