What retrograde actually is
Saturn never moves backward. Retrograde is a trick of perspective: Earth and Saturn both orbit the Sun at different speeds, and when the geometry lines up, Saturn appears to drift backward against the background stars for a few weeks before resuming its usual direction. The moments it appears to pause and turn are called stations — those are the instants in the table above.
