Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1970

Previous

1969 Ended June 7, 1969 after 150 days, moving back 4.14° through the zodiac.

Next

1971 Begins January 18, 1971 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.
