Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1927

Previous

1926 Ended March 27, 1926 after 162 days, moving back 2.16° through the zodiac.

Next

1928 Begins October 19, 1928 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 1927

Pluto through the zodiac in 1927

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1927, 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.
