Venus in 1915: a year between two loops

542 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1915 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 year opens inside the tail of the previous loop: its post-retrograde shadow closes on January 18, when Venus is back at the degree where it first turned.

The loops themselves are on the 1914 and 1916 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1915

Previous

1914 Ended December 18, 1914 after 41 days, moving back 15.31° through the zodiac.

Next

1916 Begins June 12, 1916 and runs 43 days.

Gap across 1915

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 1915, 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.
