Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2036

Previous

2034 Ended November 11, 2034 after 42 days, moving back 15.66° through the zodiac.

Next

2037 Begins December 14, 2037 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.
