“The birthdate of the fictional character of James Bond 007, according to John Pearson in James Bond, the Authorized Biography of 007 is 11th November , 1920.”

And still, he looks So Hot for a guy who is 89!

So he has Sun, Moon (an Eclipse) Node and Mercury (retrograde) in Scorpio. Venus in Sagg so he’s drawn to the sexy, emancipated, globe-trotting untameable types BUT he’s got Mars in controlling Capricorn so he wants to tame them. I LOVE the astro of fictional characters.

And as this Nerve mag article makes clear, Casino Royale is mega-Scorpionic.

“If you’ve never read a Bond novel, Casino Royale is something of a shock. For a start, Bond is more psychologically complex, almost sociopathic, than the one-dimensional version of the movies. He appears to harbor rape fantasies towards women, suggesting demons in his closet. In an early chapter we are casually informed that Bond “lit his seventieth cigarette of the day,” shortly before taking a cold shower and slipping into bed, where “his features relapsed into a taciturn mask, ironical, brutal, and cold.” He smokes, he drinks, he takes cold showers! This is old school Bond, a million miles from the fussy figure he has become on screen. Forewarned that he is going to be saddled with a female accomplice, he is appalled: “Women were for recreation. On a job, they got in the way and fogged things up with sex and hurt feelings and all the emotional baggage they carried around.” Inevitably the woman is bad news; his attempt to save her leads to a remarkably candid torture scene, in which Bond is forced to strip and have his genitals brutalized until he loses consciousness. The message could hardly be clearer: women rob men of their power.”

Happy Birthday 007! Here's a medium-dry vodka martini complete with lemon peel--shaken not stirred, of course. Enjoy!

What a lot of old bollocks. Them retrograde Mercury types, eh?

Still, put it to music and you've got the next theme song.

I noticed that and maybe why Fleming chose it.
I personally thought it was he wanted Bond to be a Scorpio.
You know, sex sign of the Zodiac and all.

But that particular day? Could be.

Ditto!  Sorry I didn't notice.  Next year, however, should really be a year to remember, as Mr. Bond turns one hundred.

Um... you mean 90? (Or 94 according to Pearson.)

Aack!  You caught me, Glidrose!  Yes, I should have said 90.  In addition to my blatant inability to type, my basic subtraction isn't much to brag about.
