Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1980

Previous

1979 Ended July 26, 1979 after 152 days, moving back 4.08° through the zodiac.

Next

1981 Begins March 5, 1981 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.
