Why do some people born in April 1953 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 1953 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Apr 1953 gets one exact pass, 15 Apr 1953 gets three exact passes and 30 Apr 1953 gets three exact passes.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 2° across the whole of April 1953, 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.
