Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Saturn retrogrades either side of 2048

Previous

2047 Ended September 1, 2047 after 141 days, moving back 6.62° through the zodiac.

Next

2049 Begins May 6, 2049 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.
