Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1956

Previous

1955 Ended April 1, 1955 after 149 days, moving back 4.11° through the zodiac.

Next

1957 Begins November 17, 1957 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.

Computed for 1956
