Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Uranus retrogrades either side of 2017

Previous

2016 Ended December 29, 2016 after 153 days, moving back 3.95° through the zodiac.

Next

2018 Begins August 7, 2018 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.
