Overview

  • All three publications continue to publish free daily horoscopes for each of the twelve zodiac signs covering love, health and career
  • On June 30 they rolled out weekly forecasts spanning June 30 to July 6 alongside their established daily updates
  • Every horoscope entry includes explicit disclaimers stating there is no scientific basis for using birthdates to predict personality or future events
  • Recent articles cite YouGov survey data showing over half of Germans see a connection between signs and personality and reference a Clearer Thinking study that found astrologers’ accuracy matches random chance
  • Coverage also explains the Forer effect as the psychological mechanism that makes vague astrological statements feel personally relevant
