Reader demand remains strong despite studies and surveys that challenge astrology.
Overview
- TAG24, MOPO and the Augsburger Allgemeine published free, sign‑by‑sign horoscopes for Sunday covering themes such as love, career and health.
- MOPO’s daily guidance included specific cautions, such as an evening accident risk flagged for Aries readers.
- The Augsburger Allgemeine paired written pieces with daily‑updated video horoscopes for multiple signs.
- Several articles stated there is no scientific evidence linking star signs to personality or future outcomes, citing YouGov polling on belief and interest in horoscopes.
