The first three returns, all single passes.
jupiter return
Pick Jupiter in the calculator and the list shows each return up to age 100, with the age and the retrograde passes. Here are the numbers behind what you see.
The first three returns, all single passes.
Returns earlier than the 12-year rule would suggest.
The third return falls in 2026, near age 36.
In the direct, retrograde, direct pattern, near age 71.
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.
Every 11.86 years on average. In practice, near ages 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60, with a deviation of up to half a year either way.
The period: 11.86 years against 29.46. Jupiter repeats eight times in a hundred years and Saturn, three. Tradition links Jupiter to expansion and Saturn to structure and responsibility.
Slightly before. In the 160 birth dates tested, the first exact pass always fell before the 12th birthday, between 11.3 and 12.0. Only the second or third pass of a return with backtracking reached 12.6.
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.
