Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2043

Previous

2042 Ended July 2, 2042 after 139 days, moving back 6.71° through the zodiac.

Next

2044 Begins March 8, 2044 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.
