At first glance, Sean Connery’s James Bond doesn’t appear to symbolize the Tao. 

Done up, always dapper; prone to flashy gadgets, shaken martinis, and high-stakes espionage: Connery’s Agent 007 seems too self-initiated, too action-prone to embody the easy-going rhythm of the Tao.

That Connery Cool

Actually, it’s Connery’s own natural poise that cools Bond’s fiery adventure — that reels in all that secret-agent energy and brings it back to center, where all its antsy potential slowly simmers, burning like an oven roasting ice.

That equilibrium, no doubt, is thanks to Venus having passed through Libra ninety-five years ago today, the day Connery was born in Edinburgh.  When Venus orbits into Libra — the sign of elegant balance — the planet of love and romance steams with graceful charm. 

Smooth-Talking Bond

As James Bond, Connery’s Mars in Gemini exudes a quick and quippy charisma, one that smartly neutralizes bad guys, that smoothly triumphs over all the bad girls.  His witty words cut like a blade, like an infamous slap across the face.

Though gone from us since 2020, Sean Connery’s big-hearted Jupiter in Cancer still warms our amused attention. His dangerous, casino-calm grin still lingers — a reminder that, even in the world of espionage, the Tao remains forever constant, forever controlled, forever flowing free.
