Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 1989

Previous

1988 Ended September 5, 1988 after 154 days, moving back 4° through the zodiac.

Next

1990 Begins April 13, 1990 and runs 154 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.
