Why do some people born in August 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 August 1974 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Aug 1974 gets one exact pass, 15 Aug 1974 gets one exact pass and 31 Aug 1974 gets three exact passes.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 3° across the whole of August 1974, 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.
