Yeah, I was confused about that too. That's why I added the other site for more info.

<p>There is an annual publication "Astronomical Phenomena for the Year YYYY" published by the United States Naval Observatory and United Kingdom Hydrogrphic Office. Page 6 of the 2018 edition gives a table of conjunctions, stationary, oppositions, etc. for the planets.

@MystaryPi Unlike Physics and Chemistry, the rest of Stack Exchange does not consider a question to be a duplicate if it is asked in another community. It may be considered a cross-site duplicate if it is asked by the same user, but there is no path to close such a question as a duplicate. In this case, this question has not been asked by this user before, so unless there is a duplicate on Astronomy this question should not be closed.

Oh okay, thank you for informing me on that! I'm still getting used to how this site works (I've only been here for around 2 weeks). I'll be sure to see if it's an ACTUAL duplicate next time.

# Table of dates for planet retrograde motion

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-26)

Is there a table which shows the dates of the planets retrograde motion? I want to know at which date a certain planet will start the retrograde motion.
