Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1984

Previous

1983 Ended July 7, 1983 after 156 days, moving back 2.82° through the zodiac.

Next

1985 Begins February 5, 1985 and runs 156 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.
