Saturn moves about 12° a year, so its position on the day you were born shifts month by month, and so do the days it comes back to that degree. Where a birth degree falls inside one of Saturn's yearly retrograde loops, there are three exact passes; elsewhere, one. Saturn describes the work, not the outcome: the dates say when, not what happens.
