Why do some people born in March 1997 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 March 1997 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Mar 1997 gets one exact pass, 15 Mar 1997 gets three exact passes and 31 Mar 1997 gets three exact passes.

Do I need my birth time?

No. Saturn moved about 4° across the whole of March 1997, 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 second Saturn return for people born in March 1997?
