In astrology Saturn is considered a malefic and he
usually does not bring good news. He brings hard lessons, hard work,
contractions and constriction. Saturn represents conformity to the social
norms. Capricorn, the sign Saturn rules, has that Saturnian flavor as well.
Capricorns are known for their work ethic and attention to duty.
Donna Summer, a Capricorn has Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars
and Jupiter in Capricorn in the 5th house of creativity. A Virgo rising with Saturn sitting on her
Ascendant it is no wonder that the title of one of her signature songs is “She
Works Hard for the Money”. A song she wrote after an encounter with an “exhausted
washroom attendant”.
Despite the bad reputation that Saturn/Capricorn has for
concentration on the material world and social status they often exhibit a
strong presence in the charts of artists, musicians and comedians. This presence affords the individual the
ability to create and manifest in physical reality the dreams and visions that
spring from that deep well within from which all creativity springs.
Donna Summer’s combination of Virgo Rising, Capricorn and
Saturn on the ascendant provides an example of how these energies work within
the individual. Often musicians, song writers and vocalists have strong earth
and utilize the precision that Saturn/Capricorn/Virgo provides. Saturn is the Lord of Time and Virgo lives
and breathes meticulous exactitude. Songs are “constructed” and as any good
musician will tell you, it’s all about the timing.
So for the woman who inspired all this poking around into
the workings of Saturn, disco diva, Donna Summer, I say, give it up for the
girl, she worked hard for the money.
