Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1943

Previous

1942 Ended April 16, 1942 after 161 days, moving back 2.32° through the zodiac.

Next

1944 Begins November 11, 1944 and runs 160 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 1943

Pluto through the zodiac in 1943

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1943, 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 Leo From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

The whole year is spent in one sign — a sign of how slowly Pluto moves.
