What Saturn in Virgo asks

Virgo is the sign of craft, service and getting it right. Saturn there asks for useful competence, finished and shipped, rather than a standard so high nothing gets done.

Why do some people born in September 1979 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 September 1979 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Sep 1979 gets three exact passes, 15 Sep 1979 gets one exact pass and 30 Sep 1979 gets one exact pass.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 4° across the whole of September 1979, 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.
