Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1951

Previous

1950 Ended April 28, 1950 after 160 days, moving back 2.43° through the zodiac.

Next

1952 Begins November 24, 1952 and runs 159 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 1951

Pluto through the zodiac in 1951

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1951, 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.
