Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2029

Previous

2028 Ended June 22, 2028 after 43 days, moving back 16.51° through the zodiac.

Next

2031 Begins July 20, 2031 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.
