Stations from the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris. Swiss Ephemeris agrees on every Pluto station 1900–2050: median 1.1 minutes, largest 16.1 minutes. Near a station Pluto barely moves, so almanacs differ by minutes. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1921

Previous

1920 Ended March 20, 1920 after 163 days, moving back 2.11° through the zodiac.

Next

1922 Begins October 12, 1922 and runs 162 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 1921

Pluto through the zodiac in 1921

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1921, 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.
