Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1966

Previous

1965 Ended May 18, 1965 after 149 days, moving back 4.15° through the zodiac.

Next

1968 Begins January 4, 1968 and runs 150 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 1966

Uranus through the zodiac in 1966

Every sign Uranus occupies during 1966, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
