Steve,
I could be wrong here, but it seems to me that it can be done this way: If one subtracts the GHA of the body from the GHA of Aries, the RA of the body is obtained. If, when subtracting the RA of a particular hour from the RA of the following hour, a negative value is obtained, then the planet is in retrograde motion.
Cheers,
Sean C.
