Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1912

Previous

1911 Ended March 11, 1911 after 163 days, moving back 2.06° through the zodiac.

Next

1913 Begins October 1, 1913 and runs 163 days.

Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
