Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1936

Previous

1935 Ended April 7, 1935 after 161 days, moving back 2.24° through the zodiac.

Next

1937 Begins October 31, 1937 and runs 161 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 1936

Pluto through the zodiac in 1936

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1936, 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.
