What Saturn in Taurus asks

Taurus is the sign of what lasts: money, land, the body, routine. Saturn there asks whether your security is real or just familiar, and what you'd keep if you had to choose.

People in this return often describe questions about worth. What am I holding onto because it's mine rather than because it's good? What would I build if I weren't afraid of losing what I have? Saturn return in Taurus.

Saturn describes the work, not the outcome. Nothing on this page predicts events; it dates the stretch and says what it tends to ask.

As of 3 Nov 2026, the third return window opens Apr 2028, in 17 months, and the first exact pass falls between 24 Apr 2028 and 24 May 2028, depending on the day.

Why do some people born in April 1940 get one exact pass and others three?

Each year Saturn appears to stop, back up for a few months and move forward again. If your birth degree sits inside one of those loops, Saturn crosses it three times; otherwise once. Across April 1940 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Apr 1940 gets one exact pass, 15 Apr 1940 gets one exact pass and 30 Apr 1940 gets three exact passes.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 4° across the whole of April 1940, so your day matters far more than your hour. Noon is used on this page; the free preview takes a time if you have one.
