Total Retrograde Days = 161
Notes: All timings are represented in 24-hour notation in local time of Dallas, United States with DST adjustment (if applicable).
Hours which are past midnight are suffixed with next day date. In Panchang day starts and ends with sunrise.
Before Neptune becomes retrograde it enters into retrograde zone and starts slowing down. Before it becomes stationary and starts moving into backward direction, it keeps moving into forward direction with retarded speed. Neptune remains into stationary motion for some moments before it starts moving backward. The time when Neptune just starts moving backward is noted down during our calculations.
The same is true while Neptune becomes progressive i.e. when it starts moving into forward direction. Before Neptune becomes progressive it remains into retrograde zone and starts moving into forward direction till it gains full speed. The time when Neptune just starts moving into forward direction (gaining full speed and leaving retrograde zone takes some more time) is noted down during our calculations.
In sum, each retrograde zone has four points namely, Shadow, Retro Station, Direct Station and Release. We list only Retro Station and Direct Station for Neptune.
