Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1950

Previous

1948 Ended July 16, 1948 after 43 days, moving back 16.51° through the zodiac.

Next

1951 Begins August 13, 1951 and runs 43 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.
