Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2028

Previous

2026 Ended November 14, 2026 after 42 days, moving back 15.63° through the zodiac.

Next

2029 Begins December 16, 2029 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.
