typical time in Aquarius

every ~29 years

it comes back

As of October 2026, the last time was 2020–23: Saturn first entered Aquarius on 22 March 2020 and, because retrograde motion carried it back and forth across the sign's boundary, entered it twice in all before leaving for good on 7 March 2023. Next: Saturn first enters Aquarius on 21 January 2050; retrograde motion carries it back and forth across the sign's boundary, so it enters twice in all and leaves for good on 11 January 2053.
