Horoscope: Three Zodiac Signs Said to Take Pleasure in Others' Misfortune
An astrology article says Gemini, Capricorn and Sagittarius most often show schadenfreude when others fail. Each sign is given its own reasons for the behaviour.
An article in the astrology section of a Latvian lifestyle website looks at three zodiac signs that, according to the horoscope's author, are prone to schadenfreude, meaning pleasure at the mistakes and misfortunes of others. The piece is entertainment-oriented horoscope content, not scientific research. It states that these signs usually have no malicious intent, but have reasons for their behaviour, at least from their own point of view.
Gemini
Gemini is described as versatile and knowledgeable in many areas. The sign likes to share what it knows and offers advice even when nobody has asked for it. When someone ignores that advice and ends up in a difficult situation, Gemini cannot resist mocking, since in its view the other person simply should have listened.
Capricorn
Capricorn is portrayed as a conservative sign that considers rules and laws necessary for society to function. It follows them even when that seems unnecessary, for example waiting for a green pedestrian light on an empty street in the middle of the night. The sign finds it hard to tolerate a more relaxed attitude in others, so it is said to openly enjoy seeing a neighbour fined for parking incorrectly.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is described as a cheerful sign that loves flirting and winning new admirers. Its strong need for attention can lead to pursuing someone who is already in a relationship. The sign then feels disappointed and jealous. If that relationship ends, Sagittarius cannot help feeling a little schadenfreude, but it quickly fades, and the sign offers a shoulder to lean on and comfort.
