Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1968

Previous

1967 Ended May 28, 1967 after 150 days, moving back 4.15° through the zodiac.

Next

1969 Begins January 8, 1969 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.
