Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2036

Previous

2035 Ended March 30, 2035 after 134 days, moving back 6.95° through the zodiac.

Next

2037 Begins December 26, 2037 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.

Computed for 2036

Saturn through the zodiac in 2036

Every sign Saturn occupies during 2036, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.

Saturn in Leo From Jan 1 – Oct 16
Saturn in Virgo Oct 16 – Dec 31 and beyond

2 segments in 2036. Dates from JPL orbital elements, good to about a day at sign changes.
