Why do some people born in April 1981 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 1981 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Apr 1981 gets three exact passes, 15 Apr 1981 gets one exact pass and 30 Apr 1981 gets one exact pass.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 2° across the whole of April 1981, 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 April 1981?

Saturn is back in Libra from Oct 2068 to Sep 2071, around age 87. For someone born 15 Apr 1981 the exact passes are 28 Nov 2068, 5 Mar 2069 and 20 Aug 2069.
