Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2044

Previous

2043 Ended July 15, 2043 after 140 days, moving back 6.68° through the zodiac.

Next

2045 Begins March 20, 2045 and runs 141 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.
