Sun in LeoAbout James Baldwin
Visionary novelist, essayist, and civil rights activist whose works, including Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time, explored race, sexuality, and identity in America with piercing clarity. Baldwin spent years as a Paris expatriate and became one of the most prophetic and urgent voices of the twentieth century.
James Baldwin the Leo
Leo is warmth with the volume up. A fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun itself, Leo is here to create, to express, and to make the people nearby feel a bit more alive for having been noticed. The reputation for wanting attention undersells it: what Leo actually wants is to be seen, which is a different and more human thing.
