Venus’s path through 1933, day by day
Venus starts 1933 at 12°20′ Sagittarius and ends it at 18°52′ Aquarius — a full lap of the zodiac plus 66.5°, all of it forward. The shaded stretch from Dec 14 is the pre-retrograde shadow: Venus is already crossing the degrees it will walk back over after turning on Jan 15, 1934. Fastest day: Jan 23, 1.25° forward. Counting the shadows, 17 days of 1933 sit inside a retrograde window.

Venus in 1933: a year between two loops
544 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1933 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 14, the day Venus first reaches the degree it will later retreat to.
Computed from the actual motion

Gap across 1933
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 1933, 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.
