Overview
- TAG24 continued its run of free daily horoscopes for 21–23 August and posted weekly, sign-by-sign forecasts for the week of 24–30 August, keeping the usual love, health, career and finance format.
- BILD ran weekly zodiac pieces for 17–23 August while promoting its AI offerings, naming the BILD-KI Hey_ tool and the virtual astrologer Cosma as options for paid, personalized birth charts and horoscopes.
- Merkur.de published an August feature on Sunday, August 23 that noted the Sun’s move into Virgo and highlighted Aries, Virgo and Sagittarius as the three signs set to gain momentum, and the article carried a '© Ki‑generiert' credit.
- Multiple publishers are explicitly crediting AI or third‑party image sources such as Midjourney and 123RF in horoscope pieces, showing that AI‑generated visual assets are now part of mainstream entertainment astrology coverage.
- The shift blends free, routine horoscopes with monetized AI personalization and visible AI imagery, which could change reader engagement and raises new questions about transparency and how publishers separate paid AI services from general entertainment content.
