Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1974

Previous

1973 Ended June 26, 1973 after 151 days, moving back 4.13° through the zodiac.

Next

1975 Begins February 6, 1975 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.
