What Saturn in Libra asks

Libra is the sign of partnership, fairness and keeping the peace. Saturn there asks for agreements that are actually fair, including the ones you've been avoiding because they'd cause a scene.

Saturn describes the work, not the outcome. Nothing on this page predicts events; it dates the stretch and says what it tends to ask.

Why do some people born in September 1980 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 1980 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Sep 1980 gets three exact passes, 15 Sep 1980 gets three exact passes and 30 Sep 1980 gets one exact pass.

Do I need my birth time?

Only if you were born on 21 Sep 1980 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 September 1980?

Saturn is back in Virgo from Aug 2066 to Oct 2068, around age 88. For someone born 15 Sep 1980 the exact pass is 5 Oct 2068.
