Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1928

Previous

1927 Ended March 28, 1927 after 162 days, moving back 2.17° through the zodiac.

Next

1929 Begins October 21, 1929 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 1928

Pluto through the zodiac in 1928

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1928, 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.
