Pluto retrograde dates in 2045

Pluto turns retrograde once in 2045.

Pluto turns retrograde once about every 12.1 months, and each retrograde lasts between 158 and 166 days, about five and a half months. Its stations fall only a day or so later each year, so Pluto is retrograde for close to half of every year.

A retrograde of Pluto is centred on its opposition to the Sun, when the Earth overtakes it. In tradition Pluto stands for depth, power and the processes of ending and renewal, and astrologers who follow retrogrades read a Pluto retrograde as a time to revisit those themes. That is a tradition of interpretation, not a measured effect.
