Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2022

Previous

2021 Ended October 11, 2021 after 141 days, moving back 6.64° through the zodiac.

Next

2023 Begins June 17, 2023 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.

Computed for 2022
