Exact ephemeris positions
Saturn takes about 29.5 years to orbit the Sun. We use the MIT-licensed andrmoel astronomy-bundle VSOP87 implementation, locked to source revision 71c3d14, to calculate its real longitude and return dates.

What is a Saturn Return?
Every 29-ish years, Saturn finishes a full lap and returns to its birth position.
Saturn takes about 29.5 years to orbit the Sun. Your first Saturn Return arrives around ages 27–31, the second around 56–60. Astrologically, Saturn is the planet of structure, time, limits and earned authority — so its return reads as the moment the scaffolding of your adult life gets inspected. What did you build on borrowed assumptions? What is actually load-bearing?
It is not a punishment and not a prophecy. It is a well-documented cycle in the sky that many people find useful as a lens on a genuinely transitional stretch of life.

Your sign and timing
Your birth date is enough for the free date and sign calculation. It is evaluated at 12:00 UTC, so it cannot provide house-level context; that requires an accurate birth time and birthplace.
Why there may be three crossings
Earth can pass Saturn from our point of view, making Saturn appear to move backward before it moves forward again. That retrograde loop can produce a direct crossing, a retrograde crossing and a final direct crossing.
Worked example
Example only: September 23, 1990 produces Saturn in Capricorn and three first-return crossings on March 13, June 18 and December 8, 2019. The return window runs from the first crossing to the last.
Privacy and retention
Your birth date is encrypted while the request is processed and removed from the completed job. An encrypted anti-duplicate record may remain for up to 24 hours. The private result expires and is deleted after 30 days. Analytics and ordinary operational logs do not receive your birth date or private report link.
