I’ve noticed saturn in the 12th house being common among some different popular singers’ charts

specifically when saturn conjuncts either the moon, mercury or jupiter, and sometimes even the sun in a few charts!

Annie Ross

Jazz singer Annie Ross was born in London in 1930. Ross was a founding member of the renowned vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and a pioneer of the “vocalese” singing style, which involves setting original lyrics to instrumental jazz solos. In 1952, she recorded “Twisted”, a foundational work in this style. In 1962, the Lambert, Hendricks & Ross trio won a Grammy Award for the album High Flying. In 2010, Ross was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Annie Ross died in 2020 at the age of 89.

“It’s all about finding your voice. It’s not about singing anymore as much as expression. I’m focusing more on feeling. I learned that from playing live a lot. That’s where I got to know the voice and find a way to use that inner tone that’s so important.”

- Pelle Åhman, interview on Invisible Oranges, January 2014
