Venus in 1944: a year between two loops

545 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1944 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 1943 and 1945 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1944

Previous

1943 Ended September 27, 1943 after 43 days, moving back 16.2° through the zodiac.

Next

1945 Begins March 25, 1945 and runs 42 days.

Gap across 1944

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 1944, 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.
