Saturn return calculator
Saturn comes back to the place it held when you were born about every twenty-nine and a half years. Enter your birth details to see the exact days of yours, from the first, near thirty, onwards.
How your Saturn return is found
Saturn takes about twenty-nine and a half years to go once round the zodiac. Your Saturn return is the day it reaches the exact degree it held at your birth.
Saturn turns back for four or five months every year, so it often crosses that degree three times: going forward, going back, and forward again. Your page gives the day of each.
If you do not know your birth time
You can still find it. Saturn moves so slowly that your date places it within a minute or two of arc, and the days of your return come out much the same.
What a Saturn return is
Saturn is the planet of time, limits and what lasts. Its first return falls around your twenty-ninth birthday, and astrologers have long treated those years as a coming of age: plans borrowed from other people give way to ones that are your own.
The second comes near fifty-eight and the third near eighty-eight. Each closes a cycle of about twenty-nine years and opens the next, with Saturn back where it started.
Questions
When is my Saturn return?
Around your twenty-ninth birthday, give or take a year, and again near fifty-eight. The calculator gives the exact days.
How long does a Saturn return last?
Its exact passes fall within about a year. Many astrologers count the whole stretch Saturn spends in the sign of your birth Saturn, about two and a half years.
Why does Saturn cross my Saturn three times?
Because Saturn turns back for four or five months every year. When that turn falls near your degree, Saturn crosses it going forward, again going back, and once more going forward.
Do I need my birth time?
No. The date and the place are enough.
