Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1917

Previous

1916 Ended October 26, 1916 after 154 days, moving back 3.93° through the zodiac.

Next

1918 Begins June 2, 1918 and runs 154 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.
