Saturn has a 29.46-year period, so the first return is near age 29 and a half. In the exact passes computed for birth dates from 1930 to 2000, the age ranged from about 28.4 to 30.4. The second return falls near 59 and the third near 88.
Find the exact dates of your Saturn return, every retrograde pass and the orb window, plus your Jupiter, Uranus and lunar node returns.
Saturn takes about 29.5 years to come back to the degree it held when you were born, so the first return lands between roughly ages 28 and 31, the second near 59 and the third near 88. Because Saturn is retrograde for about four and a half months each year, it can cross your natal degree once or three times (direct, retrograde, direct). Across 220 birth dates from 1930 to 2000, the first return had three passes in about one third of cases. The calculator finds each pass at its exact instant, reports the age and shows the window in which Saturn sits inside your chosen orb, which lasts from about 2 months to roughly a year and a half. Positions use the astronomy-engine library, the same one behind the site's birth chart, and match JPL Horizons to within 0.01 degrees. Beyond Saturn, it computes the cycle squares and opposition, the Jupiter return (11.9 years), the Uranus milestones (84 years) and the mean lunar node return (18.6 years).

The date alone is enough: Saturn moves about 0.03 degrees a day on average. The time is only used together with a city, to find the house natal Saturn sits in.
The window runs from when Saturn gets this close to your natal degree until it moves away again. Smaller orbs give shorter windows.

Readings come from Western astrological tradition and are symbolic: the calendar marks the period, not what will happen. Planet positions are astronomical calculation. All calculation happens in your browser. Date, time and city are never sent to a server.
