Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1944

Previous

1943 Ended April 18, 1943 after 161 days, moving back 2.33° through the zodiac.

Next

1945 Begins November 13, 1945 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 1944

Pluto through the zodiac in 1944

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1944, 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.
