Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1919

Previous

1918 Ended March 18, 1918 after 163 days, moving back 2.1° through the zodiac.

Next

1920 Begins October 9, 1920 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.

Computed for 1919

Pluto through the zodiac in 1919

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1919, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.

Pluto in Cancer From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

The whole year is spent in one sign — a sign of how slowly Pluto moves.
