Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1977

Previous

1976 Ended July 11, 1976 after 151 days, moving back 4.11° through the zodiac.

Next

1978 Begins February 19, 1978 and runs 152 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.
