It is bad news because it makes the native afflicted 'bad' in some way. Antares is an adversarial star, one of the 4 royal stars, as the archangelic representation goes Antares is Uriel's star, the angel that keeps humankind out of paradise with a blazing sword which is about as 'good' as Antares gets. Standing watch barring humans from paradise.
All literature on Antares that I've read says it makes the native so afflicted and where afflicted of a violent, rash and rebellious nature often bordering on or completely denoting evil. Unrefined, Antares is psychopathic. Refined it can produce an influence of a fearless, skilled warrior who lives for fighting (and fighting done, not so much like Aries but more like Scorpio; underhanded, unfair and strategic, Antares is the rival of Ares).
This only applies to the planet, mark, point etc touching Antares with an orb of 2"30.
When it touches the PoF, which defines a native's personality, soul, instinct and body it produces a very dominant effect on the native's entire being.
The rest of the chart tells more and needs to be taken into account but Antares conjunct PoF people, aside from having eye issues make for some interesting characters to say the least.
