Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1927

Previous

1926 Ended February 28, 1926 after 41 days, moving back 15.74° through the zodiac.

Next

1929 Begins March 30, 1929 and runs 42 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.
