When Was Pluto Last in Pisces?
Updated October 5, 2026
As of October 2026, the last time was 1797–1823: Pluto first entered Pisces on 11 April 1797 and, because retrograde motion carried it back and forth across the sign's boundary, entered it four times in all before leaving for good on 3 March 1823. Next: Pluto first enters Pisces on 9 March 2043; retrograde motion carries it back and forth across the sign's boundary, so it enters four times in all and leaves for good on 23 February 2068.
Each bar runs from first entry to final exit. Stretches marked with a neighbouring sign are times it crossed back over the boundary before returning.

How these dates were found
With Horoskopos's sky search: Pluto's geocentric, apparent, tropical ecliptic longitude, computed with the open-source Astronomy Engine library, with each sign boundary found to the minute. Sample ingresses agree with NASA JPL's Horizons ephemeris to within an hour for 2023–43, about three hours for the 1850s–80s and about 15 hours for the 1770s: Pluto moves so slowly that a sliver of an arcminute in position becomes hours in time. Pluto comes from an integrated orbit that is reliable from about 1 CE to 3999 CE. Data generated 2026-10-04; page built 2026-10-05.
