Venus in 1936: a year between two loops

545 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1936 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 1935 and 1937 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1936

Previous

1935 Ended September 29, 1935 after 43 days, moving back 16.17° through the zodiac.

Next

1937 Begins March 27, 1937 and runs 42 days.

Gap across 1936

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 1936, 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.
