Misconception: I read about Sagittarius and how they are fun loving adventurous people then read about Scorpio and the bad press they get but I always find sag better fits the Scorpio traits. Every sag I have met are just not nice at all. Evil I have found
I think they are responding incorrectly to mankind's love and glorification of Conquerors (Evil incarnate), which tropical Capricorns are embracing as good instead of evil. I think they are jealous of tropical Caps and embracing a philosophy that shouldn't be exalted in the first place (Conqueror Spirit). I think it is playing too great a negative part in their psyches.
It's like a bottomless pit of darkness.
"As for the Archer, when the foremost portion of his cloak rises, he will give birth to hearts renowned in war and will conduct the conqueror, celebrating great triumphs in the sight of all, to his country's citadels. Such a one will build high walls (
moenia from Latin
murus) one moment and pull them down the next. But if Fortune favours them too generously with success, the mark of her envy is to be seen on their faces, for she works cruel havoc upon their features. So was it that a dread warrior* paid for his victories at the Trebia, Cannae, and the Lake, even before the hour of his retreat, with such disfigurement."

Astronomica, 1st century AD, book 4, p.267]
