Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1948

Previous

1946 Ended December 8, 1946 after 41 days, moving back 15.38° through the zodiac.

Next

1950 Begins January 10, 1950 and runs 41 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.
