What Saturn in Virgo asks

Virgo is the sign of craft, service and getting it right. Saturn there asks for useful competence, finished and shipped, rather than a standard so high nothing gets done.

People in this return often describe questions about usefulness. What am I good at that I keep refining instead of releasing? Who is my work actually for? Saturn return in Virgo.

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

Why do some people born in October 1948 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 October 1948 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Oct 1948 gets three exact passes, 15 Oct 1948 gets three exact passes and 31 Oct 1948 gets one exact pass.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 3° across the whole of October 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.
