Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1969

Previous

1967 Ended September 20, 1967 after 43 days, moving back 16.27° through the zodiac.

Next

1970 Begins October 20, 1970 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.
