While Anthony Kiedis appears pleasant, even and harmonious (as described above), inside he is deeply emotional and quite passionate. Despite appearances, he is intense and sometimes one-sided and extreme. His smooth, agreeable manner masks a much more strong-willed character.

Astrological factors in this section:

Sun in Scorpio

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Anthony Kiedis is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Anthony Kiedis usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Sun in Scorpio

Anthony Kiedis also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Anthony Kiedis commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Anthony merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Kiedis has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Anthony will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Anthony does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Kiedis can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Kiedis can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Anthony Kiedis emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Anthony Kiedis loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Anthony never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Anthony Kiedis tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.
