As of 3 Nov 2026, the third return window opens Sep 2039, in about 13 years, and the first exact pass falls between 8 Dec 2039 and 22 Sep 2040, depending on the day.

Why do some people born in August 1952 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 August 1952 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Aug 1952 gets three exact passes, 15 Aug 1952 gets three exact passes and 31 Aug 1952 gets one exact pass.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 3° across the whole of August 1952, 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.
