@sudhakar kondap You can make use of Scheduled Job Script Execution. This will help you to define the frequency.

@sudhakar kondap 

2 approaches

1 ) You can use daily scheduled job which checks if today is 1st saturday or not, use this in Condition field and set answer=true/false.

if answer=true then script of scheduled job will run

somewhat challenging using flow as you can't directly determine the 1st saturday of every month.

OR

2) You can use a daily scheduled flow and call a custom flow action which checks if it's 1st Saturday and returns true/false

If true then your flow proceeds

If false the flow ends

Something like this to check if today is 1st saturday of month

// Only run on the first Saturday of the month
var today = new GlideDateTime();
var dayOfMonth = parseInt(today.getDayOfMonthLocalTime(), 10);
if (dayOfMonth <= 7) {
    answer = true;
}
answer = false;
