Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1963

Previous

1962 Ended May 4, 1962 after 149 days, moving back 4.16° through the zodiac.

Next

1964 Begins December 20, 1964 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.
