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

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 2° across the whole of December 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.

When is the third Saturn return for people born in December 1971?

Saturn is back in Gemini from Jul 2059 to May 2062, around age 87. For someone born 15 Dec 1971 the exact passes are 29 Jul 2059, 2 Nov 2059 and 14 Apr 2060.
