Alicia Keys needs others in order to structure herself. She intuitively senses this need and seeks a balance between her individual ambitions and need to give to others and be loved and recognized in return, although it sometimes eludes her. Marriage and friendship could be realms to which she is especially devoted, but they may also prove to be a source of conflict and disillusion.

Alicia Keys has a paternal complex and, as a result, some trouble finding her identity. Perhaps her father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during her childhood, which deprived her of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, she was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to her as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with her evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber her mind or inhibit her developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for her to assert herself, and she tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because her authoritarian urges are mainly directed at herself rather than others, she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself severely, and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, she should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

At the moment of your birth, the two celestial “lights” (the sun and the moon) were symmetrically aligned. This created a harmonic balance between the masculine and feminine archetypes, which has a positive effect on your personality. You are able to be comfortable with yourself as you are, instead of striving to attain your parents’ ideal, which has helped maintain a good relationship with them and the rest of the family. With your peers, one of the effects of the masculine/feminine harmony is that the images your ego projects onto the other are especially constructive. The bonds of the relationship are not felt to be constraints, the energy which flows between the two people is a source of mutual happiness, not regret. No major personal conflicts are projected onto the “other” – that is, the significant other.

Alicia Keys has a great potential for creative, constructive accomplishments; however, it is sometimes difficult for her to gain access to this part of herself. She is confident in herself and life but may tend to be nonchalant. She sometimes needs a little stimulation to get herself rolling and take some initiative. Her optimism and inner certainty do not always drive her to give her utmost efforts to achieve a goal. The communications skills she possesses are an advantage as well as a handicap. She makes use of her theatrical gifts, convincing eloquence, and ability to listen. The best careers for her would be teaching, communications, philosophy, the legal profession, theater, and public relations.

Alicia Keys is fairly strong-willed, and is mindful of going about her purposes with maximum efficiency. When she relates to other people, she sometimes has trouble expressing her emotions, but she does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As she grows older, she is quite likely to come into her own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. Her honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win her recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in her destiny, and her greatest accomplishments will guarantee her stability and prosperity. Although she is not especially enterprising, she will move into a high career position as soon as she feels sure of her abilities.

Alicia Keys hides a fear of emotional commitment behind a façade of fairly engaging idealism and a nearly palpable spirit of brotherhood and friendship. The truth is, she prefers to observe life from afar rather than come down and dirty her hands in it. However, this fearful and distant attitude will not necessarily enable her to know and love herself better.

Alicia Keys is extremely sociable. She instinctively connects with others, and has a need to be accepted and respected. This makes her tactful and diplomatic, and she will sometimes swallow her personal pride in the interests of the smooth running of the group. She is also sensitive and discerning when it comes to art, and will avoid anything crude or vulgar. As a result, she is sometimes offended by the harsh demands of life. Relationships (the couple, or a partnership) are central to her life.

Alicia Keys is a cheerful and pleasant person who enjoys life. She has expansive nature due to her gratification in childhood which probably took place in favorable surroundings with a mother or mother figure who was loving, indulgent, and generous. Alicia is extremely kind-hearted and gives of herself and her wealth unstintingly. Many people appreciate her bountifulness somewhat selfishly.

Although Alicia Keys maintains a cool and distant demeanor, she is extremely sensitive. In some cases, her rather austere and rigid behavior and her refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. Alicia has spells of melancholy in which she does not feel worthy of being loved, and tends to forbid herself emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. Alicia may have suffered rejection in her infancy, and, as a result, lacked the parental love which is essential to the cohesion of a personality and identity. In order to feel secure, and to protect herself from ever suffering rejection or abandonment again, Alicia withdrew into herself and developed her aloofness as a defense mechanism. When Alicia finally let down her defenses and allows herself to express her feelings, she tends to become impassioned and exalted. Alicia is fairly introverted and egocentric, and has a powerful sense of her own identity.

Alicia Keys experiences friction with others. Her vision of other people is sometimes clouded by insecurity, and her need to obtain acceptance at any price may drive her to make too many concessions or compromises.

Alicia Keys is sometimes afraid to love. The world of her feelings is characterized by a certain chill and restraint. But she is not unfeeling; on the contrary, her sensitivity is so delicate that she is careful to protect it. Her determination to maintain control of her feelings and force her emotions to obey the laws of reason may stand in the way of intimacy and joy.

Alicia Keys was born with an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, Alicia is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Alicia Keys was born with a refined sensitivity, remarkable psychological sense, and high aspirations. She is also extremely understanding. Alicia’s destiny may be marked by exceptional encounters with friends.

Alicia Keys dreams of a wonderful partner who will take her away from the humdrum world. She hopes that this special person will be able to help her overcome her emotional issues and make her life truly happy. In reality, she may find herself with an unexciting partner who cannot provide the level of security she seeks. Ultimately, she may find more happiness in her friendships.

From the outside, Alicia Keys seems detached and aloof, but on the inside she is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because she sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, Alicia tries to control not only her own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of her partners. She aspires to a profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning herself and yielding to the other terrifies her. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because she is guarded and somewhat secretive, Alicia tends to be suspicious and is especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although she is fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, Alicia will not express her feelings unless she is subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of Alicia’s emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, she is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Alicia Keys is a flexible individual who has progressive, inventive, and sometimes utopian ideas; they usually relate to human or social problems. She always strives to be in the vanguard, creating a better world for the future.

Alicia Keys tries to shun subjectivity and be as objective as possible. Her thoughts are usually structured, and her reasoning, based on objective facts or experience, usually relates to practical goals.

Alicia Keys has a lively and agile spirit. She is curious and open-minded, approaching various life experiences without either dogmatism or prejudice. As a result of the liveliness of her mind, she tends to have an opinion on every subject, but she does not always have the patience or perspective necessary to examine a subject and gain in-depth knowledge of it. She enjoys manipulating expressions and concepts and amuses herself with witty remarks, satire, and controversy. If she learned to control her flow of words better and elaborate her thoughts more, she might make a talented communicator. Because she is often too hasty to formulate and construct the arguments which would back up and inform her ideas, she is sometimes misunderstood. She is often blind to the rashness of her judgments and convinced they are well-founded and objective, which sometimes irritates the people around her. If she were to succeed in disciplining her mind somewhat, she would have innumerable opportunities to apply her communications skills to a great career. However, she would do well to be careful of her nerves.

Alicia Keys has a great deal of intuition but sometimes has problems organizing her thought processes and making an intellectual commitment. The concepts of boundary and structure are inimical to her mind, which is open and all-encompassing, premonitory, and web-like. Her thoughts may be verbally indeterminate, vague, and ill defined. She tends to understand or sense things globally, without always noticing their component parts. Usually, she can’t see the trees for the forest. In daily life, although her perceptions are lively and subtle, she may display a kind of absent-mindedness, out of a fear of annoying people with her shrewdness or of fighting to assert herself. Her imagination sometimes escapes from the confines of logic, cringing from a confrontation with reality. This unwillingness to face the real world may cause relationship or career challenges.
