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

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 August 1948 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Aug 1948 gets one exact pass, 15 Aug 1948 gets one exact pass and 31 Aug 1948 gets three exact passes.
No. Saturn moved about 4° across the whole of August 1948, 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.
