Venus in 1901: a year between two loops

544 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1901 falls entirely inside that stretch. Venus turns back once every 583.92 days — longer than a calendar year — and each loop is over in weeks, so now and then a whole year passes between two of them.

The run-up to the next loop starts before the year is out: the pre-retrograde shadow opens on December 24, the day Venus first reaches the degree it will later retreat to.

The loops themselves are on the 1900 and 1902 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1901

Previous

1900 Ended July 30, 1900 after 43 days, moving back 16.5° through the zodiac.

Next

1902 Begins January 25, 1902 and runs 41 days.

Gap across 1901

1.5 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.

Every sign Venus occupies during 1901, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
