Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1938

Previous

1937 Ended January 13, 1937 after 152 days, moving back 3.97° through the zodiac.

Next

1939 Begins August 28, 1939 and runs 151 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.

Computed for 1938
