This 12 inch single may be from 1981, but is still definitely disco of the late 70s variety.
"Victim Of The Planets" basically takes the theme of "Float On" and Roberta Kelly's "Zodiacs", being about astrological compatibility. Some sample lyrics:
Girls: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, who's it gonna be?
Capricorn, Pisces, give me the answer.
Man: Hey there girls, come along with me, and we'll go study astrology!
Girls: Leo, Virgo, lucky lucky Libra, I'm a solar delight.
Scorpio, Aquarius, sexy Sagittarius
Get your astrological ascendant right, cause I wanna see some stars tonight!
Basically a good fun disco record. The B-side is effectively a mostly instrumental version of the A side.
