Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2042

Previous

2041 Ended June 20, 2041 after 138 days, moving back 6.74° through the zodiac.

Next

2043 Begins February 25, 2043 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.
