Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1937

Previous

1936 Ended April 7, 1936 after 161 days, moving back 2.26° through the zodiac.

Next

1938 Begins November 2, 1938 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 1937
