Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1951

Previous

1950 Ended February 20, 1950 after 41 days, moving back 15.64° through the zodiac.

Next

1953 Begins March 23, 1953 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.
