Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2027

Previous

2026 Ended December 10, 2026 after 137 days, moving back 6.82° through the zodiac.

Next

2028 Begins August 22, 2028 and runs 136 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.
