Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1930

Previous

1929 Ended March 30, 1929 after 162 days, moving back 2.18° through the zodiac.

Next

1931 Begins October 24, 1931 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 1930

Pluto through the zodiac in 1930

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1930, 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.
