Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1926

Previous

1924 Ended July 23, 1924 after 43 days, moving back 16.53° through the zodiac.

Next

1927 Begins August 20, 1927 and runs 43 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.
