Previous

1970 Ended June 12, 1970 after 150 days, moving back 4.14° through the zodiac.

Next

1972 Begins January 23, 1972 and runs 151 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.
