Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1965

Previous

1964 Ended May 22, 1964 after 158 days, moving back 2.64° through the zodiac.

Next

1966 Begins December 23, 1966 and runs 157 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 1965

Pluto through the zodiac in 1965

Every sign Pluto occupies during 1965, 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 Virgo From Jan 1 – Dec 31 and beyond

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