Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1943

Previous

1942 Ended February 23, 1942 after 41 days, moving back 15.67° through the zodiac.

Next

1945 Begins March 25, 1945 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.
