Why do some people born in May 1971 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 May 1971 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 May 1971 gets three exact passes, 15 May 1971 gets one exact pass and 31 May 1971 gets one exact pass.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 4° across the whole of May 1971, 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.

Saturn is back in Taurus from May 2057 to Mar 2060, around age 88. For someone born 15 May 1971 the exact pass is 4 Jun 2059.
