Venus in 1928: a year between two loops

545 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1928 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 loops themselves are on the 1927 and 1929 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1928

Previous

1927 Ended October 2, 1927 after 43 days, moving back 16.14° through the zodiac.

Next

1929 Begins March 30, 1929 and runs 42 days.

Gap across 1928

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.
