1900 to 2050

Saturn through the signs

Saturn spends about two and a half years in each sign, which is long enough that a table answers "when was it in Scorpio" better than any calculator. Every date below was found by searching the ephemeris rather than copied from a printed table.

Reading a table like this

A retrograde planet can cross a sign boundary, turn around, cross back and cross again, so a sign appears more than once in a row with a short gap between. That is real rather than an error, and it is why some entries here last a few weeks and others years.

All times are UT. A change that happens near midnight will fall on the previous or next day in your own timezone, which matters if you were born within a day of one.

Find your own Saturn

Reading it off a table works. Casting the chart tells you the house and the aspects as well, which is where the placement actually becomes about you.
