Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1926

Previous

1925 Ended March 25, 1925 after 163 days, moving back 2.15° through the zodiac.

Next

1927 Begins October 18, 1927 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 1926

Pluto through the zodiac in 1926

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1926, 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.
