typical time in Virgo

every ~29 years

it comes back

As of October 2026, the last time was 2007–10: Saturn first entered Virgo on 2 September 2007 and, because retrograde motion carried it back and forth across the sign's boundary, entered it twice in all before leaving for good on 21 July 2010. Next: Saturn first enters Virgo on 16 October 2036; retrograde motion carries it back and forth across the sign's boundary, so it enters twice in all and leaves for good on 5 September 2039.
