Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1949

Previous

1948 Ended February 29, 1948 after 150 days, moving back 4.06° through the zodiac.

Next

1950 Begins October 16, 1950 and runs 149 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.
