1961 Ended May 2, 1961 after 42 days, moving back 16.36° through the zodiac.

Next

1964 Begins May 29, 1964 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.
