Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2011

Previous

2010 Ended May 30, 2010 after 137 days, moving back 6.82° through the zodiac.

Next

2012 Begins February 7, 2012 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.

Computed for 2011
