Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1962

Previous

1961 Ended April 29, 1961 after 149 days, moving back 4.15° through the zodiac.

Next

1963 Begins December 16, 1963 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.
