German News Sites Keep Publishing Daily and Weekly Horoscopes With Added Scientific Context

Major outlets balance strong reader interest with clear disclaimers about astrology’s evidentiary limits.

Overview

  • TAG24 posted a Sept. 6 daily horoscope, a Sept. 7 preview, and multiple sign‑specific weekly forecasts for Sept. 8–14.
  • MOPO ran free daily rundowns for Sept. 5 and 6, offering per‑sign guidance across love, work and health.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine published per‑sign daily pages with video and prominent notes that horoscope claims are not scientifically supported.
  • The coverage repeatedly cites a YouGov survey showing substantial public interest or belief in star‑sign links in Germany.
  • Outlets reference research from Clearer Thinking finding astrologers averaged about 2.49 correct matches out of 12, consistent with chance, even as horoscope texts use planetary‑influence language and practical advice.
