Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 2012

Previous

2011 Ended December 10, 2011 after 153 days, moving back 3.92° through the zodiac.

Next

2013 Begins July 17, 2013 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.
