Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1929

Previous

1928 Ended March 28, 1928 after 162 days, moving back 2.18° through the zodiac.

Next

1930 Begins October 22, 1930 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 1929

Pluto through the zodiac in 1929

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1929, 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.
