Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2028

Previous

2027 Ended December 24, 2027 after 136 days, moving back 6.86° through the zodiac.

Next

2029 Begins September 6, 2029 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.
