German News Sites Roll Out Sept. 23 Horoscopes With Prominent Scientific Disclaimers

Editors package sign-by-sign forecasts with videos under reminders that studies find no predictive validity.

Overview

  • TAG24, MOPO and the Augsburger Allgemeine published free daily horoscopes for September 23 with guidance on love, work/finance and wellbeing for all twelve signs.
  • Multiple pieces reiterate that astrology lacks empirical support, citing the Clearer Thinking study by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti, where astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12—no better than chance.
  • YouGov/Statista polling referenced in coverage reports roughly half of Germans show interest in or belief in links between star signs and personality, with higher engagement among younger readers.
  • Outlets expanded formats with embedded daily video horoscopes and AI or stock imagery credits such as Midjourney, and several articles republished standard zodiac date ranges for reader reference.
  • Beyond the day’s forecasts, publishers pushed weekly and monthly editions—BILD’s Sagittarius weekly and DerWesten’s October guides for Sagittarius and Libra—plus TAG24 posted a next‑day preview for September 24.
