Overview

  • TAG24 and MOPO published free daily forecasts for all 12 zodiac signs, offering guidance on love, career, health and finances.
  • BILD and TAG24 released week-ahead horoscopes for October 20–26 with sections on relationships, work, money and wellbeing.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine states there is no scientific evidence that star positions yield reliable personal predictions.
  • The paper cites survey figures on astrology in Germany, noting about 53% see a link to personality and that 24% of women versus 11% of men perceive a strong connection, while 13% report reading horoscopes regularly.
  • It also summarizes a Clearer Thinking study by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti in which astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12, reinforcing horoscopes as entertainment rather than evidence-based guidance.
