Overview

  • BILD released a series of weekly horoscopes for January 12–18, featuring familiar themes such as relationship guidance and financial opportunities.
  • TAG24 published a free daily horoscope for Monday, January 12 covering all twelve zodiac signs.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine presented sign-by-sign content with a clear caveat that astrology lacks reliable scientific evidence for predicting personality, life paths or futures.
  • The paper cited a Clearer Thinking study led by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti in which 152 astrologers averaged about 2.49 correct matches out of 12, consistent with chance.
  • Reporting referenced YouGov polling showing more than half of Germans believe in links between zodiac signs and personality, with advice to treat horoscopes as entertainment rather than decision-making guides.
