Why do some people born in April 1974 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 1974 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Apr 1974 gets one exact pass, 15 Apr 1974 gets one exact pass and 30 Apr 1974 gets three exact passes.

Do I need my birth time?

Only if you were born on 19 Apr 1974 or the day before: Saturn changed sign around then, and your birth time and place decide which side you fall on. Otherwise your dates hold without one; noon is used here.

When is the third Saturn return for people born in April 1974?

Saturn is back in Gemini from Jul 2059 to May 2062, around age 87. For someone born 15 Apr 1974 the exact passes are 28 Aug 2061, 28 Nov 2061 and 13 May 2062.
