Are these dates for Vedic or Western astrology?
A retrograde station is a fact of apparent motion, so the instant is identical in both systems — only the sign label differs. The signs shown here are sidereal (Lahiri).
What does retrograde mean?
Retrograde is the stretch when a planet appears to move backward against the stars, seen from Earth. It is an optical effect of the two orbits, not a change in the planet's real path.
