German Media Roll Out New Horoscopes for Jan. 9 With Scientific Caveats

Outlets pair sign-by-sign tips with explicit notes that studies find no predictive power.

Overview

  • TAG24 published a free daily horoscope for all zodiac signs dated January 9, offering brief guidance on love, work and well‑being.
  • BILD ran weekly forecasts for January 5–11 with structured sections such as Love & Friends, Work & Finances and Fitness & Feeling for signs including Capricorn, Taurus and Aquarius.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine posted multiple daily, sign-specific pages with video horoscopes and launched a 2026 year-ahead series by astrologer Martin A. Banger.
  • Several articles cite a Clearer Thinking test led by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti in which astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12, and explain the Forer/Barnum effect and other skeptical perspectives.
  • DerWesten warned Cancer, Libra and Scorpio of a difficult upcoming weekend tied to Moon, Venus and Neptune influences, while editors across outlets caution readers to treat horoscopes as entertainment rather than decision guides.
