Why the day of the week moves
A date advances by one weekday each year, because 365 days is 52 weeks plus one day. In a leap year it advances by two, which is why the weekday occasionally jumps. Over the six years in the table above you can watch both patterns: the single-step years and the leap-year double step.
This matters more than it sounds if you are planning around a weekend. An event that lands on a Saturday this year may fall midweek in two years' time, which changes everything from travel to time off.
About Pluto Direct October 2027
Pluto stations direct on October 17, 2027 at 22:42 UTC, at 4°44' Aquarius — computed to the minute with our own Keplerian ephemeris.
Pluto retrograde is the yearly five-month descent into power, control and what needs to be transformed from the roots. The station is the turning point itself: the day the planet's apparent motion reaches zero before reversing. In tradition, days around a station carry the event's themes most intensely — decisions made at a station are said to set the tone for the whole season that follows.
