Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1986

Previous

1985 Ended August 23, 1985 after 153 days, moving back 4.02° through the zodiac.

Next

1987 Begins April 1, 1987 and runs 153 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.
