German News Sites Post New Daily Horoscopes With Prominent Science Caveats

Editors frame the features as entertainment, citing research that finds no predictive power.

Overview

  • TAG24, Augsburger Allgemeine and MOPO published free horoscopes for all twelve signs for Wednesday, September 24, with TAG24 also posting the Thursday, September 25 edition.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine packaged individual sign pages with daily updated videos and repeated disclaimers that astrology lacks scientific validation.
  • BILD continued its horoscope lineup with a fresh weekly forecast for Aries and a recent Libra profile describing the sign’s traits.
  • Outlets referenced the Clearer Thinking experiment led by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti, where 152 astrologers averaged about 2.49 correct matches out of 12 and none exceeded five.
  • Coverage invoked the Forer/Barnum effect and 2021 YouGov polling showing widespread interest or belief in star‑sign links, while advising readers not to use horoscopes for important decisions.
