Stations from the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris. Swiss Ephemeris agrees on every Pluto station 1900–2050: median 1.1 minutes, largest 16.1 minutes. Near a station Pluto barely moves, so almanacs differ by minutes. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Pluto retrogrades either side of 1994

Previous

1993 Ended August 2, 1993 after 157 days, moving back 2.8° through the zodiac.

Next

1995 Begins March 4, 1995 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.
