Saturn return dates for people born in 2002: first exact pass August 19, 2030 to final pass July 6, 2032 by birth month, solved from the Swiss Ephemeris. Saturn in Gemini, one or three passes, and your second return.
Transiting Saturn re-crosses the natal Saturn of 2002 births between August 19, 2030 and July 6, 2032. Each row gives the earliest and latest date for that birth month, solved from the Swiss Ephemeris for every birthday in the month at noon UTC (a birth time moves natal Saturn by a fraction of a degree, so it can shift a pass by a day or two). 119 of the 365 birthdays in 2002 get the full three-pass return (first pass, retrograde pass, final pass). The calculator above solves your own passes to the minute.
Everyone born in 2002 has natal Saturn in Gemini, so the whole cohort meets its first return through the same sign. Astrologers read a Gemini Saturn return as a test of what you know and how you say it: turning scattered curiosity into a voice people can rely on. That is the shared weather. The personal layer is the house natal Saturn occupies in your chart, which needs a birth time and is where the calculator places it.
Saturn spends roughly four and a half months of every year retrograde. When the retrograde loop falls on your natal degree, transiting Saturn crosses it three times: forward (the first exact pass), backward (the retrograde pass, which astrologers read as the review), and forward again (the final pass, when the structure sets). When the loop falls elsewhere, Saturn crosses once and keeps going. Both are real Saturn returns; the three-pass version simply stretches the lesson across most of a year. The rows above say which kind each 2002 birth month gets.
The second return for 2002 births runs between June 5, 2060 and May 8, 2062 across the cohort, around age 58 to 60. Saturn's orbit is eccentric enough that real returns drift months either side of the 29.5-year average, so these are solved crossings, not birth year plus thirty. Enter your birth details above and the calculator dates every return you will live through.
The first Saturn return for 2002 births lands between August 19, 2030 and July 6, 2032, depending on the birthday: the earliest date is a first exact pass for February birthdays, the latest a final pass for October birthdays (Saturn's retrograde loop means the order does not simply follow the calendar). The month table on this page narrows it to your birth month; the calculator above solves the exact passes for your birthday.
No. Saturn moves roughly a degree a month through the year you were born, so a January and a December 2002 birthday carry natal Saturn positions up to about twelve degrees apart, and transiting Saturn reaches them months apart. Within one birth month the spread is usually a few weeks, which is why each row shows an earliest and a latest date instead of one day.
Saturn was in Gemini for the whole of 2002. Astrologers read a Gemini Saturn return through what you know and how you say it: turning scattered curiosity into a voice people can rely on. The sign is the shared lesson of the cohort; the house it occupies in your own chart, which needs your birth time, is where the lesson shows up.
Not for the dates. Saturn moves at most about an eighth of a degree a day, so the birth date alone fixes each exact pass to within a day or two. The birth time decides the house natal Saturn sits in, which is the part astrologers use to say which area of life the return works on, so enter it if you have it and leave noon if you do not.
Counting from the day transiting Saturn first comes within one degree of natal Saturn to the last day it leaves a degree after the final pass (between passes it wanders farther out and comes back), the first return for 2002 births spans August 4, 2030 to July 13, 2032 across the whole cohort; for one birthday it is typically nine to twelve months when there are three passes and a few weeks when there is one. 119 of the 365 birthdays in 2002 get the three-pass version.
The second return for 2002 births runs between June 5, 2060 and May 8, 2062 across the cohort, around age 58 to 60. Saturn's orbit is not a perfect 29.5-year clock: eccentricity shifts real returns by months either side of the average, which is why these dates are solved rather than added up.
